For big hogs, big cats, and small bear I carry 180 gr. Hornady XTP or Cor-Bon's 180 gr. Bonded Core Soft Points loaded to ~ 1300 fps out of a Ruger Blackhawk 6-1/2" Bbl. .357 Mag...

(but it doesn't fit in my tackle-box.)


A heavy, high SD .357 will burrow in deep on big, tough critters. So will a 180 gr. TMJ .40 S&W or 10 mm.
