44 Mag for Pigs

[dssajj]

Just bought a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 mag and was wondering if anyone had good load for hunting wild pigs?:

If you reload, you might try 300-grain. Otherwise, most any 240-grain load will work.

no info on loads but a 44 mag would be good for hog

44 Mag will work great for hogs. My favorite is a max load of Blue Dot behind a 240 JFP.

My hunting load is 23.5 gr of h110 and a sierra 240 gr jhc with a magnum primer out of my sbh 7.5" barrel

Why Not?

If a pellet gun can kill a wild pig then surely a .44 magnum ought to do the trick.

200 gr. nosler hollowpoint out of a 16" trapper using a mild load of unique.

This load Has worked out very well under 100 yds.

I always recover the bullet.

How about 190.0 (or more if you are careful) of H-110 behind a Laser Cast 300 grainer. Oh, you will need a taller front sight though. Very powerful load. I want to try it on deer this year.

190 grains of H110 in a .44 magnum case? Would that be considered a compressed load?

Nineteen-point-zero?

Yeah, in a coke bottle.

190.0 gr. of H110 is also known as dynamite...
Crank one of those bad boys off, and you'll have the ATF knocking at your front door!

Haha sorry guys.. I guess this is why we don't always trust load data given over the internet. Obviously I meant 19.0 grains as given in the Lyman 48th Edition manual.

Nosler 250 gr. Partition

Haven't shot a hog or deer yet.
But this is what I've got loaded up in my 44mag.
I feel the partition bullet will do the best job on hogs.
Loaded with H110 19.5 grains.
