Good Hunting 44Mag Bullet?
ByI have been hunting pigs for a long time and have been using reloaded ammo. I now want to purchase factory rounds. So what are the best 44 remington magnum bullets for hunting pigs—>I want bullets that make the biggest flesh wound/ upset so It rips the shit out of a pig. I use a marlin lever action, not a handgun. So I need recommendations for good hunting 44-rem mag bullets that create the biggest flesh wound/upset. I need this type because I shoot at running pigs so even if get them in the leg or not where I want the bullet to go, they wont be able to go anywhere because they will have a massive chunk out of them. And when I do hit them in the right place, they drop flat because they a fucked up.

Hornady custom 44 mag in 300 grain. This is the Midway web site for them.

Cabelas also carry them. I would check around, but these were made for deer hunting.

also try out another load from Hornday, the lever revolution… it is a bad unit!!! i have taken many deer and hogs with this load. it has a little less punch than the previously mentioned 300 grain load, but it is incredibly accurate!

Then you will want to use the 240 grain hollow soft point bullet according to the Winchester Product Ballistics Service Manuel for 2008.*
