45 ACP is a question for me? Shot a finisher on a smallish boar, about 100# last March. But the shot was in the forehead. Splattered gray matter and blood quite a ways. Wondered what ball would do in the shoulder? Thanks and Be well, RZ.
Second this motion.
I have already done it with 45 acp with ball ammo. We placed a magazine full of 45 ACP 230 grain FMJ into a 292 pound boar. None of them made it through the gristle plate. When we skinned him they were easy to find and looked unharmed. I think you could reload them and use them again. This hog was finished with a 35 Remington to the shoulder on the opposite side. 200 grain Corelokt. Dead right there real quick.
I have used 45 ACP hollow points for head shots since then. Worked fine.
