Just because the TTH is a 22 caliber does NOT make it right for all deer. Keep in mind that round was designed to be very accurate and to be used on whitetail deer. I have rarely met a TTH hunter who would be willing to try it on a mule deer. Also keep in mind Evan that the original post asked for a deer/BOAR load. For javelina you MIGHT could get away with an excellently placed shot and a 22 caliber. For feral hog you would be risking a bad wounding shot for nothing. Go with a larger caliber. PERIOD. don't count on a well placed shot when you don't know how the weather, the creature, the primer, the powder, or the bullet might react. What happens if you bumped you scope off a bit and didn't know it? for an "in the ear" shot at 100+ yards a half an inch makes a heck of a difference.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
