barrel length?

That is a large hog.It would take about four white tails to equal that weight. Not saying south Texas deer are small but it appears that Gatesville has some HOGS!

we have quite a few. I have never seen one as big as they killed, and I don't think I want to.

I'm not an AR expert, But, Have you considered different twist rates, I have a couple AR one is a 1/8 TR and the other is a 1/7 TR.
Having a 1/7 TR you can use heavier bullets, It may or may not be beneficial when hunting hogs.

1 in 12", or 1 in 14. Are a slower twist rate. in 12s are good for 35-55 grain, 1 in 14s are good for 35-50 grains, and perhaps up to 55.

1 in 9, or 1 in 10. Versatile; do-it-all. Will work best with leads in the 45-75 grain weights. Ideal for the 55-62 grains you will probably be shooting.

1 in 7 1 in 7 will shoot the heavy leads best up 90 grain, but this is too fast for the lighter leads and will spin them too much.

Just a thought.

My Match barrel is 1 in 9 and I have another 1in14. As I am not looking for match accuracy anymore I leave the 1 in 9 on. At the ranges I am shooting (less than 100 yds) it has worked out just fine with all bullet weight and I use a lot of mil spec ammo anyway. I have not reloaded for these barrels yet but I suppose the day is coming when I will have too.Saving my brass for that day! It is a pain to ream the mil primer pockets out.

I had to get an rcbs swagging tool, makes the primer pockets alot faster. I have decided to go with the 16 inch barrel, and let the kids use it for killing hogs.
