I've seen a .357 magnum bounce off a hog's head.........(heck, I've seen a .22 mag bounce off a glass bottle).

It's all a matter of angles.......which is why I don't shoot for the head (I do not put myself in a situation where a charging head-shot is an option).
I either shoot for the neck of go for the heart/lung.

when you are running back up for 2 bow hunters, you don't always have that option.  any of the 2 arrows or 3 x 30.06 would have been fatal.  The last shot litterly went in thru the nose and came out the butt.   I figured a m1 would be a great choice, heavy, but offered rapid shots and is fairly soft shooting for a rifle.  It was that or a 12 ga.  I figured if I needed to get a pig off some one, a rilfe was a much better choice then a slug.

The M1 would have given you a bayonet at least. ;D

Heck, there have been reports of 9mm bouncing off of human skulls.  It's why you shoot for center mass vital areas first!

Understand, 100%.
I'm not physically mobile enough to play back-up any more. If I hog hunt anymore, it is from a box blind, 50 yards from the "pig chow" with a .308. Back when we hunted in the deeper woods, I used a 12ga pump with magnum buck loads and 2 .44 magnum Rugers as back-up the the shotgun.
