I have had very little success with 40's and 45's on hogs.  My brother and I shot one hog 6 times (3 times from each caliber) and the hog still ran off.  Some of these shots where from the 5 yrd range and i could see the point of impact so I know it was getting hit.  About a month before that I saw my brother have to put 3 in a boars head to kill it.  Upon inspection all three shots were well placed head shots.  All hogs were shot with FMJ's for maximum penetration. 

I never had those kind of problems when we shot them with slugs or 30-30.
