I hunt hogs all the time. One thing we haven't talked about is arrow weight. Yes a 400 gn arrow will kill this 300 lb hog. But we are talking about a 300 lb hog. You need to look at the whole picture if building a arrow for this hog. A efoc arrow is best that's a 19% foc or more. But a lot of people don't want to spend the money on 200 plus gn heads. Not common at all at most stores. Nor is buying 50 to 100 gn inserts.
So this brings you back to using a heavy arrow. This is my opinion If I was going to hunt a 300 lb hog. I would at a min have a 500 to 525 gn arrow. Then a good cut on contact head. I would not have to worry about the thick shield that he may have.
When I build arrows for a specific animal. I look at my options. And build my arrow for T.A.P.
