A .357's effectiveness on a hog depends on a few things. The first being exactly the type of ammo you are using. Another variable is how far are you from the target because pistol rounds are very limited in nature. Even with a .357, past 35yds you will start to see bullet drop and accuracy take effect because gravity and wind are the enemies of pistol rounds at distance. A third variable would be the size of the game you come across. Bigger the pig, the less effect the round will be.
Just my initial thoughts for you.
