I too recommend going with a .308-based case. You want a pig/bear gun where reliability is at a premium, but a belted case may not feed as reliably as the cartridge the action was designed for. Yes you can file on the action rails, but reliability may still be less. The .338 Fed and the .358 are both more powerful than the .308 if you feel you need more. No pig or black bear will know the difference between being hit with a bullet from the .358 WCF or the .350 Rem Mag. Both will penetrate plenty and kill quickly. Those animals are not rhino or Cape buffalo....
