RE: Just for fun- what's everyone shooting for pigs?
I just sold my .243 so I only have one gun for deer and hogs. A .22 Hornet. Makes it a little bit between bow hunting and rifle hunting, I have to get closer than I would with a big caliber but a bit farther than bow hunting.

I've taken far more pigs with my .223 than with my other guns combined, but I'll use whatever is handy. Every gun in my arsenal has killed at least one pig, and that includes my 10/22.
