I assume you are shooting slugs? I would think a slug would be pretty effective.
Slugs, 00 Buck, 30-06, 223, 22, bow and arrow, we shoot them with whatever we have in our hands. I have caught them in traps, ran over them with the truck, even caught some small ones with my bare hands. We have a German Shepard that will hold one by the ear until you walk up and take it away from him. I even slapped a big one on the butt as he walked by the tree I was behind. I think the Indians called that "counting coup".
Fried, grilled, baked, diced, sliced, chopped, pulled, ground, BBQed, smoked, stuffed, wrapped, glazed, brazed, etc.. It is a very lean meat and taste really good, just don't try to eat any of those big stinky bores. The little bores are good and a sow of any size is fine. I have made some thick pork chops out of 300# sow, and baked a 15 pounder in a turkey pan. A 60-80 pounder is great on a spit with an apple in its mouth.
I know a lot of people would like them eradicated, but I don't think that is possible. We have just learned to really like pork.
