.308 is the obvious answer if you can go the AR10 route.

If not, I think the .458 would be a good choice. Has 6.8spc fallen off the map?

Honestly, to me hogs aren't worth the price of expensive ammo. I'm a fan of shooting them as many times with 5.56 as is necessary. Use hard ball ammo and aim for the head. If you have to take a body shot who cares how many rounds it takes? It's a hog.

At the price of over $2 per round I wouldn't attempt hunting hogs with .458 or .450 or even 300BLK unless I absolutely needed a one shot stop.

This is the best answer. And 308 is still cheaper than the other exotic rounds you listed.
