RE: .22 For Hog Hunting
not only can it be done, it does get done. My last hog was about 250lbs, and a 22lr hollow between the ear and eye dropped him in his tracks instantly. there was an entry hole and an exit hole so it was more than sufficient ballistically for the shot taken. keep the shot under 50 yards and you will be fine. It might can be done past 50 yards, but i have never tried it on a hog past 50 yards so I can't say one way or the other with regards to distances over 50 yards. As far as opinion goes, I wouldnt try it too far past 50 yards.
