Hogs with 22LR

[Joshk358]

Just curious who has hunted hogs with a 22LR? What load did you use? Distance? Gotta assume they'd be mostly head shots. Interested to hear about your experience with the good ole 22LR.

I’ve hunted them with a 22 WMR quite a bit. If you can bump up to a 22 mag it’s worth it IMO.

We've used the CCI Stingers for the kids when they were small with their Cricket 22's. Need a fairly small sized eating hog and need to ear hole them. This was back before suppressors. It can be done but need a situation for an easy accurate shot and those darn things don't hardly stand still. We were about 25 to 30 yards out when successful.
