I don't have any use for a CF 22 anymore. I have a 22 mag that is awesome for doing what you do. I would not hesitate to use it on all but the hog's. I think about a Hornet quite a bit. Never owned one but a friend had several many years ago and I shot the tar out of them. We only shot cast bullet's from them. Huge problem with them, rimmed and really shallow shoulder and the thing's split case's on a regular basis. I'd still get one though and take it to a gunsmith and have a K Hornet reamer run in it. That would give me a shoulder worth head spacing on. Even if I did that though, I would not part with my 22 magnum.
I doubt a good cast bullet in a Hornet would bounce off a hog but, were it me hunting the hog, I'd prefer my mod 788 in 308 with the 180gr bullet I shoot in it. I suspect a hog is just a bit tuff to experiment on with very light cartridges.
