okcmco,

I too have taken a number of hogs with the 30-30 and more than a slop jar full with a Ruger Security Six in 357 mag.(with larger grips added). I load my own loads and use 125 gr. hollow points in the 30-30, never had one run. I will go so far at to say, most of my shots are close and personal, I hunt swamp land.
