The best bullet I have found for all around deer, hogs etc. is the Remington 240 grain HP over 23 grains of H110. It gives me a bit over 1,500 in a 10.5" Blackhawk and a bit over 1,700 in an 18" barreled Marlin. It always expands well and really hangs together. 1.5" 100 yard groups are the norm. I have yet to destroy one. I have shot them into all kinds of stuff and critters. I haven't recovered one in game yet and they always leave a good 1" exit hole with LOTS of internal trauma. They go through trees really well too
