So long as the bullets hits the exact right spot, a 22LR will take down a large boar.
Therein lies the problem: most people cannot shoot, even if it is - literally - to save their lives.
Shot placement trumps bullet velocity, design, and weight; however, as placement deviates from "intended" placement, any/all will help make up for that error.
M original point remains: a 125-gr super, put in just the right spot will do the trick (as will a 220-gr sub); but miss that spot by just a little bit, and you'll need several more rounds on target.
Little piggies, no problem, shoot'em up; big boars, not so much. With the big boys, they are hunting you too, and can be quite mean.
