I depends on the hogs. The Russian bore has a grissle plated chest and shoulders. A 22 mag would not penetrate. A 223 bullet might fragment and not do any good. Be safe and use something 30 cal. with a non hollow point bullet. Minimum 30-30 or 7.62x39. You need to make a good heart lung shot . They are like most animal with their heart down low and right between their front shoulders with the lungs around that. Field dress them like a deer and find a meat processor that can handle wild pig.
