I would stick with a 150-160 grain bullet of good construction like Woodleigh PP, a bit more velocity but still enough for wildboars etc.

No one mentioned the 8x65RS, it fills nicely the gap between the 7x65R and the 9.3x74R. Loaded with 220 grain bullet, it would be fine pork slayer. Here is an example of it - Ziegenhahn & Sohn

I have fired precisely one shot out my 7x65r combination gun at driven game. It was at a large sow that appeared 30 yards from out of a last strip of a field of rape being harvested and surrounded by a team of rifles. The sow was followed by two piglets - next door gun shot these two - he was using a blazer, but it sounded like a semi auto. The sowwas hanging around and took off across the field. I swung through as if it was a low flying pheasant and squeezed and not sure who was more surprised as it bolled over like a rabbit, shot through the boiler room with a 173gn ID classic bullet. 100% hit rate on running pigs.

I had a slug in the top barrel as backup, but these do shoot 8" high so am having a liner barrel made in 7x65r to turn it into a double for when I go driven hunting again.
