I've seen a number of 250-300 lb pigs killed with .22s....
...but we were in a barnyard, under controlled circumstances, killing/butchering tame livestock. One shot through the forehead, or behind the ear, stick 'em to cut the aorta, and then it was just knife-work to make 2 sides of pork.
Feral hogs usually aren't quite as cooperative, and personally, I like a bigger gun when hunting feral hogs, and a .44 Mag or .45 Colt is just about perfect to me.
