I'm hoping to do some hog hunting in March which I have never done before. I'm also hoping to use a revolver which will be a new experience. I've got a Ruger Redhawk that I'm shooting well and it is what I plan to use.

I've played with loads up to 300 grains at around 1400 fps but it seems that many people are completely happy with 255 grain hard cast bullets at 1200 fps as a general purpose big game load. Is there any reason to go heavier or faster for hog hunting?
