What is the difference between a Benjamin 357 pellet rifle and a 347 pellet rifle?
Benjamin made a model 347 from 1969 to 1992 it was a pump handle that fired a single shot .177 pellet. As far as I know Benjamen never made a model 357 ( I may be wrong) but they have just come out with the Benjamin Rogue that fires a 357 caliber Pellet. This is PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) class rifle. These are the most powerful class of air rifles today. The Rogue fires a 8 shot 357 caliber clip. The rifle cost around $1300. The 347 is designed for target and rodent control. The Rogue is designed for small to medium game hunting. The Rogue is not the largest caliber pellet rifle. Today the largest is the 50 caliber Dragon Claw air rifle by Sam Yang.

Can a 800 fps air rifle kill a small hog?
It depends on the size of the hog, The size of the caliber, the weight of the pellet and if you can get in a good head shot. Assuming you are using a .177 caliber rifle. (your stretching the limits of the rifle) I would select a H&N Baracuda Match .177 Cal 10.65 grain pellet. Don't get hug up on speed. A heavy pellet will fly slower than a lightweight pellet but will fly straighter and have more knock down power than a lightweight pellet. Hopefully your going after really small hogs, because I think you are stretching the limits of you rifle if it's a .177 caliber air rifle. I recommend a larger caliber, but it's up to you.
What the best caliber rifle?
The best caliber rifle is entirely dependent on what game you are hunting. For varmints (small pest animals like gophers, moles, and prairie dogs) as .22 LR would be appropriate. For deer and elk, I would chose one of the .30 caliber options, either 30.06 or .308. For moose, or cape buffalo, I might go up to a .454.
