10mm's will work fine given proper shot placement. As pointed out they do have a protective cartilage plate on their sides. I have seen some over an inch and a half thick. Light high velocity rounds can explode in this plate. My shot of choice is in or behind the ear. They are vermin kill them all!!!! Don't go hands and knees in the brush looking for a wounded one. It is my experience that hogs will not charge you unless a little one is in danger or they are wounded. They are basically blind past their nose and will sometimes run past you, because they don't know you are there. They have a great nose and usually very weary.
