Re: 44 mag hog load
Looks good! Those 240 jsp did the job. Like i said no need for fancy high end ammo with a 44, especially with a rifle length barrel. Good hunt!

Re: 44 mag hog load
Only shot 2 with the glock 27 with 180umc remington. One was a head shot and the the other was a double tap while the hog was on the run. Both shots struck the hog quartering away. Both rounds clearly exited and were never recovered. Hog dropped after 5 feet. I can tell you that the 10mm will go through any pig head to hind with just cheapo 200 grain blazer aluminum tmjs from a 6inch barrel.
I really never hunt hogs, usually when i did deer hunt on my friends land they would be everywhere and he would just won't them dropped. They are a nuisance on his land. Needles to say he has more pork then venison in his freezer.
Must have taken over a dozen pigs within a single hunt. Often came back with no deer but never did we not drop a hog.Taken far more pigs then deer in my day just as pest control.

Re: 44 mag hog load
Well my buddy drops them with a blackhawk with cheap magtech 240 soft points. 200 pound porkers are not a problem with my 40 s&w with cheap 180fmj and my 10mm drops them easily as well.
Can't tell if they where shot with my 10mm or his 44.
Now if you are hunting those huge 300pound plus hogs you might want to step it up to a heavier and harder bullet but for 90% of them the 240 sp cheapo Winchester or magtech etc is the way to go.
