. 177 what can it do?

[Pneumaddict]

A 12 fpe .177 caliber pellet can kill any bird found in North America.

It will still be effective beyond practical shotgun range.

Superior to .410, and comparable to 20 gauge in lethality (against birds) at normal shotgun range.

I love .457 for hog

Some love .72 but that wasn't the question,........a well placed .177 will take down a decent size wild boar and that was the answer to the OP question.
