My 454 Taurus Raging Bull loves them hogs!!!

[Capt Rick Hiott]

,,,,Thats right!  Got another one late yesterday afternoon!
  This guy was pretty quiet coming in. I dropped him right in the corn pile. He didnt take one step after I hit him right under the ear......

He was about 250lbs. I shot him about 25-30 yards from the stand.
 Ill post more pic's later on today.

Congrats on the Hog........they are fun !

What kinda load ya using in your 454 ?  No need to be specific , just in general.   Hot---med or mild ?   I have a Ruger SRH in 454.  I've found it to be accurate and a whole lot more fun to shot at 1550-1600 fps with a 240 XTP Mag .  That makes it sort of a mild load for a 454 , yet quit a bit more potent than 44 or 45C.

I use factory loads from Magtech. They are 260Gr SJSP at 1800fps.
 They seem to work very well. I see no reason to change,,,,unless you guys know of something better?

Here ya go,,
