100 Grain BTSP for me. Remington, Winchester or Hornady all load great for me. Put it in the sow's ear hole or the boar's neck (save the skull for a mount!). With either shot, they don't take a step....it is like their legs have been cut off and they drop straight down!
Have shot those big boars in the vitals with a 30-06 and with Barnes.....never found them. Only neck shots for me now!

I've had very good results with the basic Federal blue box Power Shok 100 grain soft points. My daughter shoots those in her Remington 700 Youth, and they haven't failed once. My brother-in-law has had very good luck with the Hornady Superformance 95 grain SSTs in his Savage. Remington CoreLokt are also a pretty safe bet. I just like to use the heavier weight bullets because they carry energy well.

Another +1 for the 100gr Core Lokts. I bought a couple of boxes to break in my kids 243 and after getting targets where the holes were touching at 50 yards, I never bothered to look for another round.
