The .22 WRM is noticeably more powerful than a .22 LR, but they are both under-powered for wild pigs, IMHO. I know it's done, but shot placement is sooo critical. I don't know about the western pigs, but the hogs here in the South might get irritated and then again they just might not even notice a .22 rimfire slug. Is it possible you maybe can use a shotgun with slugs?
