20 G Shrifle round for hogs?

[HarryN]

Hi, we have some various hunting law challenges to overcome for hunting hogs in this area:
- Some locations require slug use only
- Nearly everything is or is headed for no lead rounds
- Cannot carry a side arm when hog hunting (complete safety risk IMHO) so need to be able to reload quickly.

At a personal level, my shoulder can't handle the recoil as well as it did 40 years ago so 20 is more preferable than a 12.

I have been wondering about a 20 guage rifled slug gun with the Tar-hunt shrifle round.
- As far as price, it is pretty pricey but right now I am just closing my eyes to that aspect
- I am wondering if it will open too soon and not give good penetration in a heavy boar.

Any experience, guidance or thoughts?

Thanks

I would think a 20 gauge would do the trick if you make a good shot.
