Good all around balanced 45 Colt load??

Title says it all. I have several 45C revolvers, and I’d like to standardize as much as possible a load that works well without undue stress or strain on brass and guns. I’d like some ideas on bullet weight and powder. Something that is suitable for hunting yet won’t punish my wrist, if that makes sense. I have no desire to lean hard on the chambering - I’d move up to the 455 GNR for that. Just want a good dependable load for plinking to big southern hogs. Appreciate the feedback and comments.
