Hog Hunting [/align][hr]

Hey,
I'm planning to hunt hogs with my Super Red Hawk 44Mag.
And I was wanting to know what most of ya'll use for a good hog hunting load,in the 44mag.
I was thinking about a NOSLER PARTITION BULLET,or a full Metal Jacket.
Where I'll be hunting you can also use a Muzzlerloader.So I'll take my first shot will the Knight .50 cal.
I've got the Knight sighted in with the Barns 245 grain Spit-Fire MZ,for deer,with 150 grain charge.
Now for hogs, this might not be the best load.What do ya'll think???
Should I load the Knight up with a Nolser Partition also,or will the Barns bullet do the job? Thanks[/align]

Is the .44 scoped?

no,I haven't got a scope on the 44 yet.I just got the 44 and my pocket book is a little low now.But in time a Burris or a Leupold will find a new home on the 44.

I've shot hogs with stuff as small as a .357 185grlever action open sight, close range yes, under 30yards, they drop just fine. I enjoy stalking right up to them, gets your blood pumping when your laying on your belly in the grass and a 200lb boar finally figures out I am about to drop em.

For longer shots though I've been using .260, .270 and 7RM.

DITTO!

i have a win 94 trapper in 44 mag and i use the winchester supreme 240gr. jacketed hollow points. i've killed one hog with it and it seems to do the job. but they do have quite a bit of recoil even in the carbine.

NOSLER ammo is hard to contend with.

That will do! I use a compound bow 72 pound draw with grim reaper broadheads 30 inch Carbon Express arrows, and that does the trick... it's not how hard you hit them, it's were you hit them.
