My .177 break barrel puts out about 15ftlbs, my pcp gets about 22ftlbs.Also let's remember the original opener from the OP,
Penetration on a head shot on small pigs from 12-15 yards ?.......I stand my grounds that a powerful .177 is a fantastic option.
As seen from our friend Rallyshank post on his big boar kill with, yes a .177.
Once more, the hunter is the main part of the equation not the caliber, a bad shot with a 100 FPE .25 will not bail you out
Pretty sure they would both work at that range
