I have shot plenty of hogs with solid 22 LR without a problem...I also used to hunt without a bulldog and when I swapped to a 22 mag I bought the cci in hollow point. I shot at a 200 pound boar at point blank range in the forehead and none penetrated...shot him 5 or 6 times and he flinched but didn't go down. I got right on him and shot at him and I saw where the hide was split and I could see the skull and I saw where the bullet turned downward and the split was at least 1.5 inches...
I went home and checked all three types of cartidges offered for the 22 mag and the solid bullet penetrated the most by far. One well place bullet and the hog drops in his tracks...
