I have also killed a number of hogs with a .22 pistol. Model 17 Smith K-22 6". All my loads were HV .22LR. Hogs aren't that big a deal, given the chance they will go the other way, cornered/trapped, or if you mess with a sow's little ones, it is a different story.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
