I’ve had good luck with 200SWCs out of the 45 auto on pigs and a bunch of smaller varmints. I carry a 1911 or a 5” S&W 625. Those stubby little flat nose wadcutters penetrate very well, in fact I’ve never caught one inside a pig. They’ll bust a shoulder or shoulders no problem. Easy to shoot too as they’re pretty low recoil. It’s a pretty great combo for kicking around the weeds.
REALLY good to know. I just got a holster that holds a second mag and might start carrying my 1911 on the lease during winter- even though I conisder it my pretty boy. .
Summer I carry my 40- it seems to just anger pigs BUT I keep a mag full of shot for snakes in case....
