I have not had the pleasure yet, but plan to try with my M1.
Surely the Corbon DPX is enough for pig.

Hi, head shots will be fine, personally shot them with a .458wm, loaded with 400gr barnes X! Nightime in corn fields with open sights I didn't want to take chances! But that's just me. Over bait, scope and light, careful shot placement m1 can do it!

Or this rifle....44Magnum , from a .375H&H Belted magnum neck up to a .44 Magnum...shorten mauser action...

100 grain is getting pretty light if you were to shoulder shoot a big boar, but as mentioned before head shooting would be fine. I always look at worse case scenario which for me is a direct charge would this bullet knock him on his bum. Just my thoughts from a New Zealand perspective

Nice to hear from you guys from New Zealand...are the feral pigs a problem there as in Australia? What kind of pest animals do the farmers have over there?

My man, not wanting to start a debate, but I din't believe a.22 is cool for bush pig even if you shoot yellow jackets. Just saying...

A few years back I wanted to buy a custom rifle by John Hall. Did not have the cash. Double rifle built on a 16ga action shooting a 30-30. Overall length 90cm. Will still have one built one day... The guy selling did pig control and swore by it.
