Even though I hand load, I am not constant experimenter. I have a few pet loads for my .45 Colt handguns, and a few for my .44 Mag revolvers.
For the purpose you are suggesting though Ken, I would buy the Ruger in .44 Mag. While I dearly love the .45 Colt, I have found the .44 Mag to be a more to my liking for hogs and whitetails. I have to say that favor milder loads than most. I have not found much reason to push a .45 or .44 much past 1000 fps. If I need more 'umph', I take a rifle.
