RE: WILL A 22.250 WORK FOR HOGS?
If I could add a little: the 22.250 will kill a hog, but I wouldn't want to count on it. Yes, if it's place in the ear, but how many guys can guarantee a shot like that when you really need to....? It might be ok if it's for a back-up, but most hog hunters I know will insist on a minimum of a .270 for a single shot kill, and most are using a .308, 30.06, 30.30 (where the vegetation is thick) and so on. Just my two cents. Good luck.
