That’s an interesting prospect, of course it will do fine.

But .37 is still pretty small for a cast bullet. But a good friend who insisted on using a .357 for hogs was the camp hero among a bunch of bow hunters carrying 9mm and .40’s loaded with light JHP. They couldn’t penetrate into the inner organs. We loaded him hot 180 gr. FPGC at 1350 fps. That did the trick following up all the wounded hogs!

For the revolver you’d want to keep bullet lighter for some speed, 200-250 I’d think. Jacketed should be real good as they are designed for the .375 Win. rifle at the lightest application. I bet they’d be tough jackets and penetrate deep. That’s what you want on a hog.

My favorite .375 GNR load was the Speer 235 gr./ 296 pwd at around 1800 fps from the short Encore pistol. A good 220 JHP should do well too. I remember at the Y-O a guy using the FA2008 prototype took a young Eland with it in .375 Win and factory Power Points, 200 gr. Is all they make. It was still bigger than a horse. Took two shots, one was a finisher.

Depends where you hit them too. I know only how well you know that. Practice from field positions and remember the parallax influence is so much greater on a handgun scope. Keep the X in the center of the field of view! Scopes advertise parallax free at x distance. Fooey, just keep it in the center and it won’t matter anyway! Good luck!
