As long as they die, I don't care where they do it. They just varmints.
I d stay within 75 yds range for a sure energy dump on any sized hog for the x 39 round.
The 54 R is capable to up 200 yds , it has the energy equal almost to .308 power so i thas enough to do the job.
54R is fine, x39 I would not use on hogs.
I've shot lots of hogs w/150 gr. Nosler Partitions. Have also killed a 200# hog w/55 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip. Yep, varmint bullet right behind the ear will drop 'em in their tracks, but placement is critical on a lighter constructed bullet. A lighter constructed bullet hitting the shoulder would very likely result in poor performance.
