Use a 130-140gr game bullet, not a varmint weight bullet unless you're going to put it behind the ear. Any of the brand name bullets will do.
Are you reloading?

The .270WSM has become my new monterey county hunting gun (really big wild boar, small blacktails to 150 pounds) after hunting with it in Africa last year. It performed splendidly in Africa with 150 grain Federal Premium Vital Shock Nosler partition ammo. I used it on pigs too lastyear before the eco morons mandated unleaded ammo - now I use locally Fed Prem with 130 Garnes Triple shock copper bullets.
The Nosler 150 grain Partitions slow the hotrod .270WSM down to where the bullets penetrate and perform better on heavy game like pigs ect. IMHO.

Fused
We are inundated with wild hogs up to 300 pounds on our hunting property in north Texas and I've seen numerous taken with a .270 WSM using the Federal Fusion bullet. We have so much appreciation for it that we say the pigs have been "fused". It is devastating.

If anyone loads the barnes X bullet or winchester has a version of it that is the round to use. It will mushroom well at 10ft or 300yards and will stay in one piece and travel the greatest distance in the body. Wieght is not as important with this round. It will do the job. First animal i shot with a x was a 220lb mule right next to the butt ,broke the spine in 4 places and was found under the hide at the front shoulder after breaking it. Thats from 7rem mag. at 100 yards. Worked will for 20 years . Still like BT for nice bucks as they stay where shot but can turn them to jelly if shot wrong. You should try to market the sows atleast makes great eating and turn some of the younger guys loss to catch and cut the bores . In some areas it ain't hard to get them to do it. They will catch the biggest and sell to hunt clubs in some areas.
