First, welcome to HuntChat. I think you'll like it here. Lots of great knowledge and experience combined with friendly atmosphere.

Now to your question: the rounds you've been shooting should do fine, as will the Partition Gold 250. The choices mentioned by the other posters are at least as good. You won't go wrong with any of them.

Avoid any hollowpoints and anything lighter than 240 grains, and you should be fine on most hog hunts. Hard-cast SWC or jacketed will work fine, although the hard-cast may be best of all for maximum penetration on such a tough animal.

You don't list a location, but I can heartily recommend the hog hunting opportunities in any of the Southeast states. I lived in Florida for almost a decade, and feral hogs were considered a pest animal even then. Anywhere from there up through North Carolina will have excellent hunting, guided or not. For better info, scroll down to our Bears and Boars forum and ask there.
