I'd shoot something like this 90% of the time through that .460

Then when I needed something really heavy I'd shoot the .460 mag stuff

lessen your cost some anyways, and not so obnoxious for pratice. .45LC would also work well for personal defence, it's no slouch and wouldn't punch through a person and 3 walls of your home :chuckle:

I'd look pretty hard at the buffalo bore with Barnes XPB

I think that'd give you some very dead hogs with good shot placement :tup:

It's way to spendy to pratice with though :chuckle:

Underwood has some xtp stuff, lot cheaper too.

That'd work very well too at less than half the cost
