Title: 44 mag ammo that will not exit through a hog? Post by: koyote76 on February 18, 2014, 11:04:35 pm Got a new rifle for valentines Day gift. A ruger 44/77 . So my question is what 44 mag ammo will not pass through a hog...so as to not hit a dog. I carry a pistol for emergencies, but im not a trick shot with it at all, but im very handy with a rifle., and need it to when I get tge itch to bay and shoot.

Says he's shot deer at different ranges and no pass troughs. Max expansion on bullet and drops them in their tracks. There is not going to be much to choose from. Most 44 mag factory Ammo shot from close
range will pass through. Title: Re: 44 mag ammo that will not exit through a hog? Post by: wine6978 on February 19, 2014, 06:53:10 am This is my gun of choice when I bay and shoot. I just the lead nose regular bullets you buy at walmart. I shoot em in the shoulder. Haven't had one run and the bullet stays in em for the most part.

They may not offer that style in .44, but the 9mm, .40, 5.56 come in frangibles.

Look at what scores the best for protection work against people out of a 44mag. My choice would be Remington 180jp, or Winchester 210 Silvertips. I think they had the best street score for one shot stops and least amount of over penetration.
Have fun with the new gone. That gun with a silencer and sub sonic ammo would be great fun here in Florida at night on hogs. Title: Re: 44 mag ammo that will not exit through a hog?
