I use the 22 mag on hogs quite often. Right between the eye and ear. They drop like a rock. 17 hmr is actually a bit to fast. It explodes in the first inch because it is moving so darn quick. Not a good round if you have to penetrate 2+ inches but blows the hell out of squirrels and bunnies.

RE: Got This Boar Last Evening
cool hog, to me it looks like you hit the spine ?
My friend shot a 150lbr with a .22 mag and he made a terrible shot, hit it behind the lungs, actually a liver shot, complete pass through and it dropped right there. I also put him on one that was 250 + he hit in the head somewhere and that piggie took off like nothing ever happened, found a few specks of blood. We ended up taking that same pig a week later along with his buddie, his carcass went 220 and his buddies carcass went 280.
