I think you have the perfect setup with your 300blk as your primary and 10mm as a backup.

I’ve never gone hog hunting but it sure sounds like fun to me.

Is the meat gamey at all or is it just as good as farm raised.

Nice !! Crazy story. Where did the 10mm rounds strike the animal?

Your .300 definitely has more 'margin for error'

sounds like an adrenaline pumping experience !

------------------------------

I would question bullet design and shot placement. I'm not implying that you can't shoot or don't know how to pick the right bullet! But I'd think within decent ranges, the 10mm with the right bullet should do the job.

Sounds like an exciting hunt and that's a healthy pig!

OP -- nice pig. IMO your 300blk is a better choice for your primary firearm pig hunting firearm going forward.

I feel this bullet is not a 110 grain Vmax, but rather a solid copper bullet -- maybe GMX or Barnes.

I have any 11" barrel 300blk which produces an average muzzle velocity of 2,347 fps with Hornady factory 110 Vmax. I dug a few of the Vmax bullets out of sand and dirt berms, shot at distances of about 200-300 yards. Generally, I saw:
- The copper sheath at the front is pretty thin. It peeled back quite hard, in uneven patterns, and often partially separated from the rest of the bullet.
- The lead core and the rear portion of the copper sheath stayed in one piece, but were generally slightly separated. At higher impact speeds, I suspect the copper and lead portions would completely separate. In all bullets I dug out, the lead core was clearly visible when looking from the nose end of the recovered bullet.

The bullet you show above has expansion petals which are symmetrical, are firmly attached to the rear portion of the bullet, and it does not appear that a lead core is visible. IMO that bullet performed really well. However, I suspect it isn't your Vmax bullet. Assuming that the pig had already been shot, it's surprising to me that it was still alive.

IMO, at the MV your pistol develops, the 110 VMax is probably a decent load for pig hunting.
