All about shot placement.
I assume wild/feral hogs are as good to eat as farm pigs, right?

The last subsonic round I fired was into a TV screen at 10-15 yeards (in my basement). It bounced off.

It's important to thoroughly prepare pork before eating it. It appears fresh pork has adverse health affects.
That reminds me of a nighttime shot I took with an AR-7 quite a few years ago. I had to be real careful and make sure the bullet went straight into the head, didn’t want to miss and send the animal off wounded.
Damn good shot.
All I want for Christmas is a bucket of 22LR.
Well, maybe a couple boxes of 357.
And some 9mmm.. and..
Shot placement is the key. A shot elsewhere could have just pi$$ed him off!
Excellent shooting.

The only wild hog I’ve eaten was one from SE Ga coastal area. Had been feeding on acorns and was delicious.
While I have no doubt that a properly-placed .22LR bullet can take down a large boar, why not carry a rifle of proper caliber to do the job? I certainly wouldn’t recommend this activity. I get that wild boar are vermin but a hunter should respect his quarry enough not to deliberately use a gun which has a high possibility of inflicting a wounding but not killing shot. As Robert Ruark preached use enough gun. This advice not only protects the humans when dealing with potentially dangerous game but also to deliver a clean killing shot with reasonable assurance which is the responsibility of any hunter.
