in .44 mag. I have used both for hog and deer. I like the Garrett 330 grain super hard cast bullets for big boars. For deer I use the 240 grain Speer deep cup and solid cast 300 grain bullets. I have never had anything shot with one of those rounds that went more than 5 feet from where they were standing or hit while running. They just piled up DRT. I love my Redhawk and carried it for a while in Alaska until I met a brownie up close and decided I was under gunned. I know there are those on here that will disagree (most Al Georg fans) but I had Gary make me a 510 hunter and I never looked back. That round will just stomp anything that you need to shoot and have it dead in a hurry. If you are shooting a small (or a large) pig that is coming fast, remember it can cut you up so you need to stop it in it's tracks. I think you should use whatever you have practiced with and are comfortable shooting. JMHO.
