I have a 44 mag my favorite I have killed a lot pigs with 240 xtp !!!Good old-fashioned 44 magnum?
My nabor raised peanut this year ,pigs areI have a .41 mag Contender barrel. Kicks pretty hard but has penetration and knockdown.
At 6,000' we are too high for pigs, but just south of here they've been playing hell near the lower Virgin River. Thinking about a FLIR scope.
I bet the homeless of Clark and Washington counties would love a pig BBQ.

I like the 35 rem velocity from pistol closeSounds like you reload and have 5.56 on hand so may be worth looking for the 6 or 7mm TCU's. Made from 5.56 IIRC.
Can get custom barrels in tons of flavors but they are a bit $$.
I like 35Rem, 45-70 for a bigger hole, or 30-30 for (normally) cheap/easy ammo.

to rifle!!
I'll check it out!!Sorry for the plug, please remove if this not allowed.
How about 7mm IR? It’s a .30-30 necked down to 7mm. Barrel, scope, and dies on Trading Post.
Looks like the old Bain&Davis there hard hitting round from 8-10 barrel!!How big are your hogs? I shoot a 356 GNR in a T/C. It’s a 41 mag necked down to 357. A Gary Reeder creation. Now a 300Blk will do the trick to.
I have a encore frame. Why Bain & Davis 357
I've got lots of 44 brass on hand

Want a new barrel I'm think a 357 max. Or 300 blk . Want it for deer and hog .
Between those two choices, I'd go with the 357 Max because I already have a lot of 357/38 Special bullets (both cast and jacketed) on hand that would be fun to experiment with. I've never even seen wild hogs (except in pictures) but I suspect good, 170gr, gas-checked SWCs driven between 1,600 and 1,700 fps from a Contender would work swell on them. And deer too - within reasonable ranges. Then you could switch to lighter, 125gr JHPs driven at close to 2,000fps from your Contender for rockchucks or groundhogs (depending on your location) in the spring and summer.Want a new barrel I'm think a 357 max.
