How about this new hog load for 45ACP fans:

255gr Hard Cast at 875 fps. That is exactly the ballistics of a blackpowder .45 Long Colt! |

Very nice! My old 1911 couldn't handle it, but maybe someday... __________________

I hunt hogs regularly with a .45, but it aint the acp, at least a 260 grain cast or JHP cause we got some big pigs down here. 45 colt, single action revolver with some big boy loads, the acp is a manstopper but not meant for hogs. | |

Are you saying the original Colt 255 grain black powder load is inadequate for hogs? | |

aint ever messed with black powder rifles or pistols, but cant see how they could handle a devastating load. just my opinon, maybe they can, but I know I am around big pigs 365 days a year in the pastures and I wont go out after a wounded pig with less than a .41 mag, but I prefer a .44 mag or .45 colt (long colt) with heavy loads. I do see hogs every day, kill them with anything from a .17hmr to a .308, but most auto pistols aint meant for the job. | |
