I shot some hogs in Texas several years in a row using my 1894 with Nosler and Winchester .430" soft nose bullets over 23.0 grains of IMR 4227. We brought the meat home on ice and the local butcher made it into Bratwurst. Just excellent. I was recovering one 90-100 pound pig near a water hole, and on ground was a red Swiss Army knife, a Victorinox. Great bonus. Shooting hogs is fun, especially when they run off through the brush and die in the middle of a big patch of prickly pear. The .44 Mag leaves a good blood and lung tissue trail, always a pass-through. I shot about a dozen and never did recover any bullets.
