I'm thinking something in the 20mm range!

I think most of the magnum calibers would suffice!
And definitely anything tried and trued in the African plains...

17HMR pistol, walk up to him with a bag of trash, stick the barrel in his ear and pull the trigger. If it doesn't kill him it will make him stronger and you faster!!! ;)

.22LR, if you go hunting with someone you don't like.

Hong Kong? Australia?
And you guys are talking about what caliber?
I don't think any caliber is legal in those two places.
-
I wonder if air guns are legal?
22 LR will work if you just want to kill it and don't care how quickly. Just need something that will penetrate. I think my Dad tries to carry his AR when he goes walking, but only shot pigs when he had his 10/22. I don't think he has seen one that big. Must be lots of trash to eat at that size.

Well, that answers my first question*:
As its name implies, rifles chambered for the cartridge have a groove diameter of 0.950 in (24.1 mm). SSK received a "Sporting Use Exception" to de-regulate the rifles. Thus, in the United States, they can be purchased and owned like any other Title I rifle by an American citizen at age 18.

I thought they hunt feral hogs with .45's and 10 mm's?
(Dad's only interest in ever hunting is hogs, mostly just because they use Glock 10mm's ;/ )

Most feral hogs in the US are under 200#.
Chubby dumpster diver would be a statistical outlier here.

if it's in Hong Kong aren't there multiple martial arts gyms that will battle each to see who gets the honor of fighting Dragon Pig of the Eastern Wind?

Oh no, don't do that, don't do that. If you shoot him, you'll just make him mad.

Terry did you see this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSK_Industries)? SSK has produced the largest center-fire rifle in history, the .950 JDJ. It is a .905 caliber which produces recoil equivalent to shooting ten .30-06 rifles at the same time.

Glock 40, 10MM Auto, will kill that piggy. (https://armedpolitesociety.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpic20.picturetrail.com%2FVOL1605%2F13747104%2F24744888%2F413536062.jpg&hash=09502b9a98869ac68f59012068341c79d9b238e7)

Detcord. (Can't believe I'm the first to recommend that.)
Seriously, detcord wrapped around some bait. Pop the detonator when piggy takes a bite.

adively, reply #12, asked,
Terry did you see this?

Well, yeah, so is there some kind of joke or mistake I'm not getting? The 50- lb rifle does have a hefty muzzle brake on it, and it was on some kind of sled. Future rifles will weigh over 100 lb. The 277 ft-lbs is probably a calculated value without considering the muzzle brake's effect. (I wonder if they added in the recoil effect of over 240 gr of powder gases, too, in the calculations.)
Even the "10 times a .30-'06 recoil" didn't seem outside the bounds of a quick reality check, if you figure the recoil of a heavy bullet (220 gr?) out of a light (7 lb?) .30-'06 rifle. Didn't calculate that energy, but both the M1 and the '03, at 9 lb, give about 15 ft lb of recoil with the 150 gr service bullet. So it's not a stretch to get to 27.7 ft lb (1/10 of 277) out of some rifle-ammo combinations. A light 12 ga shotgun gives you around 30 ft lb already.)
The thing was that I just didn't realize there was an exemption for >.50 caliber "sporting rifles" from the destructive device restrictions. (If I had thought about it, I would have realized that of course some elephant rifles are > .50 caliber. Duh, me.)
