Has anybody hunted hogs with the Tac .22?
If so , what ammo did the job? (If any!)
I have a personal acquaintance whom I have known for years, and we talk guns and hunting a lot.
He likes to hunt hogs. Wild ones. He's gotten pretty good at it, but before he was good at it he had to learn thru some trial and error and learn from poor judgement.
A couple years ago, he was stalking down a forest trail and heard a hog rooting. He had a long gun slung across his back and a .45ACP 1911 pistol. He froze. The long gun was going to get hung in branches and make too much noise. So he quietly unholstered his trusty forty-five. And several seconds later the hog entered the trail and gave him a head on shot on a stationary wild pig. He fired once.
The 230-gr bullet skidded off the hogs flat skull.
I think a .22LR rimfire round would be equally ineffective or worse.
