A .22 magnum is not my idea of a hog gun. However,the place is military property and they say we must use rimfiresor shotguns with shot no larger than BBduring small game season. Have killed a lot of hogs with a .22 LR anda .22 magnum on that place. i no longer hunt hogs with the .22 LR and i limit my .22 magnum shots toless than 50 yards: Even then the hog has to be in the right position.

Would not even think of tryinga shot like that on a really big hog.
