Adding wild hogs to the mix changes the caliber to a larger one in my mind. A 30/06 will give you several bullet weights to choose from. Hogs are tough and granted you could try for head shots but once you kill a couple the others smarten up. The other option is always 2 rifles which is never a bad thing. The 22-250 is a very accurate caliber and will flatten a yote and the 223 can do it all as well. Good luck.
