Lethality shouldn't be a problem as long as you study their head anatomy and can ensure that you can get real close and shoot them in an eye or eardrum with the trajectory toward the brain.
However, Javalinas and Russian boars tend to get mean if threatened or even if approached in their territory, so you'd better make sure there are tall trees around that you can get to and scoot up like a scared cat.
A .22 Magnum is a much more powerful round.
I don't think I'd sell you a .22 if you said you were going pig hunting with it.... Maybe you shouldn't mention that if you're going to use this adventure as an excuse to buy one.
