That is a fact.
And this is your supporting evidence? Elephants have been killed with swords and spears, does that make it a good idea? So please, unless the discussion is restricted to hogs caught in traps, let us dispense with the absurd .22 references.lol well I've seen guys kill wild hogs with 22 rifles and pistols and but there was others who told them it can't be done...
Ok, before you go. Honest question here.The fact that you think it is a valid point queues my exit from this discussion.
I anxiously await the stunt report.
yep jackrabbit I also hunt with a win 94 30-30 and I was told for years that the 94 was only good for 100yrds and under but that's not true!And all is quiet on the western front. Experience to me talks a better line than statistics. I think we have all done something at one time or another that breaks the mold of " common" knowledge. I know what I have done in the past works for me, like killing a deer at over 300 yards with a 94 Winchester after being told it was only good for 100 yards. Or my previous post about the silhouette range. If it works and you're comfortable with it, then go for it.

What caliber handgun do you recommend for hogs?
well I hope ya'll agre that my pair of heritage big bore revolvers in 45 colt with 250gr bullet would do the trick with smokless or bp...
the bullet I cast is out of a old single cavity mold by lyman part# 454 190 this is the bullet my gun lovesWith a wide nose bullet absolutely.

Shoot a big guy in the shoulder with one round and he'll come after you and beat you to the ground, yeah people die from 22's, but not many, and its an infrequent head or heart shot. Bad analogy.but remember guys people die from 22lr all the time and its way smaller than that 36 caliber ball!

Yes sir. I've seen .45LC's drop some nice boars like a stone!well I hope ya'll agre that my pair of heritage big bore revolvers in 45 colt with 250gr bullet would do the trick with smokless or bp...
Not true. When a .22 enters a chest cavity it starts bouncing off bones playing pinball with vital organs. Ricocheting off ribs, spine,sternum,even pelvis.Shoot a big guy in the shoulder with one round and he'll come after you and beat you to the ground, yeah people die from 22's, but not many, and its an infrequent head or heart shot.

An icepick in the ear is instantly fatal but it isn't very practical, is it?
Seriously, the .22 references are 100% unproductive.
Since none of my experiences matter maybe I should just hang up all my guns, modern and black powder as they are way too under powered to hunt with or even shoot target with. That's the way this fellow seems to view this thread. I don't consider a lot of shots I've made to be stunts. Some of these posts above are made by guys who have seen the damage done by both large and small caliber bullets and a couple of them sound very professional, as in medical or law enforcement. I would take their word on this subject seriously until proven otherwise. And no I wouldn't go after hogs with a .22 either, tho I have killed quite a few with a shot between the eyes to butcher with a .22.The fact that you think it is a valid point queues my exit from this discussion.
