I plan on taking my WC CQB on a hog hunting trip this summer. I was thinking of Buffalo Bore's 180 grain loading (a pretty stout loading) or maybe the Winchester Silvertip 175 grain load. I also handload and was wondering if a FMJ or solid type of load would be best. I have no experience with hg hunting. My friend and I are planning on using a service in Tennessee. Looking at Tennessee Extreme Hunting Adventures right now.
ETA I was putting this in here because it's coming out of a 1911. If the mods wish to move it feel free. |
| I'd go with a hardcast round with a large flat nose. Either the 180 or the 200 should do well. I would not worry too much about getting the very most out of velocity, though. Pick any round that gets you over 1100 fps or so and keep your shots to a reasonable range and you'll be fine. |

The Win Silvertips are pretty good. They are full speed (1290 fps) and I am pretty sure the bullet is bonded.
I would also think about a hardcast flat nose. I am basing this on success of using the same type of bullet in 45 Colt, 44, and 357. Well, I just re-read the OP, you might want to see if the 1911 will feed flat nose lead bullets. I have a 610 revolver so I was thinking more in those lines. |
