No hogs up here in NH to know what you're talking about but I've definitely hit a squirrel before with 7 rounds of 5.56 and the dang thing kept charging and almost took my head off!Watched a big boar take 7 5.56 rounds to the neck, shoulders and vitals area and keep on trucking. Son missed the head shot a smidge too far back and got the neck. I would not want to be standing in a field with a .22 is all I’m saying .
.22 is bad ass round.
On hogs it would make me real neevous
