Thanks again to all. This has been a most interesting as well as informative discussion. I'm not positive, but I believe my part of Texas has the feral, escaped domestic pigs AND some Russian boars which were introduced in the 1950's. Since it's better to be safe than sorry, and an ethical hunter, I believe my best bet based on all the comments is to use my Model 94 Winchester as my primary, and my Smith 686 as my backup. Better to have too much than not enough.
