Based on my experiance a black bear and a wild hog are pretty similar critters with the bear being a wee bit easier to bring down. I do not hunt either with a 357 Mag. I have hunted hogs with a 357 Super Mag with 200gr rifle bullets though. Given a handgun choice it would be a 44mag or 45LC in a revolver or the 30-30 in my Merrill.

The 12ga guy is always well dressed at the party.
Best,
Ed
