45-70 ammo

hogs are moving into my hunting area and I wanted to know what factory loaded ammo do you think would work well on a 200-300lb hog

Just about anything you can buy over the counter will work on hogs in a 45-70, but you don't have to overdo it and kill your shoulder on this side of the muzzle.
 
Hogs aren't that hard to kill with a shot placed just behind the ear or in the earhole itself, and you don't even need a passthrough.

Here is some pretty good reading some might find interesting.  More so for the reloader.
