i agree with paul and rocky. a 255 or heavier wadcutter whizzing along at 900-1200 fps would be my choice. i use hogdons universal clays in my loads and oregon trail bullets. they will take out shoulder bones and put a hog down.

the 255wc also makes a good whitetail load out to 150 yds.

as paul said, don't use those loads in anything but a bh or similar configuration handguns.

i had some friends who tested oregon trails 300gr fp on a dead hereford and busted both front shoulders at 25 yds. good performance in my book.
