22 to the head. More than likely wont kill, but it will stun long enough to slit the jugular for bleed out. Killed many a hog this way. If you have help, let someone else shoot and you work the knife. If solo, plan it out so that you can do both within seconds. Also good to have someone do what they can to help hold it after shooting.
A sharp knife is a MUST!

The ideal site for shooting pigs is one finger’s width above eye level, on the mid-line of the forehead, aiming towards the tail

Well that is the "ideal site" if you want to stun it and then kill it later with a knife.
I have shot and seen several hogs shot head on with a 22. Many times the bullet wont even enter the skull.
If you want to kill it dead with a 22 just put it at the lower base of the ear aiming at the other ear.
I have killed hundreds this way. The largest Hog I have killed with a single 22 LR bullet was 246 lbs and I was 50 ft away when I made the shot.
ETA: if shooting from one ear to the other, know what is behind your target. The bullet rarely exits but it is possible.
