I don't think I'm desperate or ignorant in fact I'm probably one of the coldest hearts you've encountered. I don't think I said that you said a LR won't kill a pig. Not much point to it unless you just want to prove it can be done under ideal circumstances.Or its all you had at the time.īut you'd still be better off with 22LR SV loads if those hogs are any real distance from the muzzle. Really only someone pretty desperate or ignorant would do it when Shorts cost at least $8 per hundred and you can readily buy more accurate and powerfull 22 LR Standard velocity ammo for less money.
