I have seen a lot of gigs successfully shot with a 22 mag but all of the clean kills were in the ear. Hogs are just too tough for body shots with one. Friend of mine killed two yotes last weekend with the 22 mag Critical Defense loads. 1 head shot and 1 broadside. He said the other loads he tried on yotes didn't work, killed them but slowly. His results agreed with safaiman, they expand quickly, he said that if he hadn't shot them up close (inside 30 yards) he wasn't sure they would have worked as well.
