Deer and Hogs both with a well placed shot are no match for the 22 mag. I shot a 330 lb bar at 90 yards in the head and he dropped like if he was hit by an 06. Shot placement is critical if you do hit him in the shoulder you had better hope to hit bone. the 22 mag is the original ranch/poacher rifle in Florida.

22 Magnum will change the way you hunt squirrels and is coyote-capable out to 100 yards, with the proper bullet. There are over a dozen different . 22 Magnum loads offering a wide range of terminal performance. This allows hunters to perfectly match their ammunition to the game being hunted.

Bullets weighing between 150 and 170 hit the sweet spot for hog hunting; and the . 308 maintains above 1000 ft-lbs of energy beyond 700 yards. Rifles chambered in . 308 Winchester are everywhere, and made by just about every rifle manufacturer.

A 22 will work for hogs if you have a nice head shot within 50 yards, I have shot a couple like that but was in a stand and the shots were both under 30 yards and I would not want to go much past that.

22 centerfires are not ideal for body shots on deer-size game. Heavy bullets designed for deer are far better than varmint bullets on body shots. They will penetrate and they will kill deer, but you still have the problem of a small entrance wound, limited likelihood of an exit and a sparse blood trail to follow.

It’s chambered in . 22 WMR, which limits its effective range, but for hunting coyotes in thick cover (especially in developed areas) the mild . 22 Mag works just fine. The one I tested was a sub-MOA gun at 50 yards, and so long as you keep things under 100 paces this gun is a coyote slayer.

You can eat wild hogs! Their meat is even more delicious pork than the ordinary pigs due to their lean body. Just observe good hygiene, cook meat properly and enjoy eating wild hogs.

Wild hogs are nocturnal animals that move around in groups. If you shoot at one with an ordinary weapon you ‘ll stamped the rest. The best firearm for hunting these highly destructive animals is probably an AR15 fitted with a barrel for the .30 caliber blackout/whisper round plus a supressor and nightsight.

Because hogs are tough, guns that fire larger rounds are usually a superior choice. The minimum caliber for a hog hunting rifle is the .270 Winchester . A better choice is a .30 caliber rifle such as the .308 or the .300 Winchester Magnum.

Currently the 22 LR ammo that strikes the best balance of bullet weight and muzzle velocity to achieve the greatest power is CCI’s Stinger 22 LR Ammo . This round has a 32 grain CPHP bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of 1,640 fps. The hyper-velocity Stinger cartridge boasts a whopping 191 ft lbs of muzzle energy.
