Here's the situation, 100-125# feral pig. Directly facing you at 30 yards. 22 WMR with 40 gr TMJ or JHP bullets. Would you take the shot between the eyes?
Growing up in domestic pig country, I watched many pigs die due to a 22 long pistol placed between the eyes. So I'm thinking the 22 WMR at 30 yards gets the job done. Just curious what those with pig hunting experience think.
Reason for the 22 WMR is regulations allow taking of pigs with whatever cartridge is legal for other game. Rimfire is acceptable for squirrels. I can't carry a centerfire rifle because I don't have a deer tag.
