I shot a few pigs in a figure 9 trap with a 45ACP using Winchester Ranger ammo and multiple shots were required. One little 60#'er took 6 to the chest/shoulder area and finally one to the noggin to take down.
Gonna pickup my ruger blackhawk 45colt this weekend. Plan on shooting open sights hopefully will get a shot at a deer if i get a chance to hunt this year
I have two 41 Rem Mags. One is a Taurus Ragin Bull with 4x weaver. The other is a Ruger Bisley Hunter SS no scope. Both are 100yd guns. I shoot handloads with 270gr gas checked LeadHead cast bullets, 19.5 gr of H110 and mag primers. Hogs don't have a chance. I chose the 41 mag because it is flatter shooting than the 44 mag and I feel it gives me a bit longer range and has more than enough KO. The Ragin Bull with scope groups 2" and better at 100yds off of a pistol rest.
You can kill them with a .22 if shot in the correct spot. I would say .357 or bigger. No need for anything bigger than a .44 mag. My choice, Ruger Super Blackhawk, .44 mag. I also like Ruger .45 cal'S.
