if you go for a head shot then you should be fine at that range, I've killed over a 100 hogs at 15yrds and under with a 22 in the ear and never had to fire twice.

so to sum it up penetration and shot placement.
what Lane said is True, but remember one Big thing if you don't kill it will come after you ............... Good Luck and don't forget pics of it if possible......
