i carry a 44. or a .45 and the only loads i use are store bought...either ballistic tips or self defense type ammo.........my reasoning for this is that i have shot deer and hogs before with both pistols using fmj shells and "practice" rounds and on occasion i have seen the bullet blow through the animal and keep right on going........i hunt with dogs and the last thing i want is to end up shooting through a hog and injuring or killing a dog...........the self defense and ballistic tip type ammo almost always enters and fragments causing massive damage to the animal......thus a quicker/cleaner kill. and i dont think ive ever seen one exit or deflect on an animal even on a big nasty porker......this is just my 2 cents. happy hunting
