AZSpeed Report post Posted November 26, 2015 Looking for recommendations on a .44 mag load for Javelina that will put them down without making a huge mess. I'm using a Super RedHawk inside of 75 yards. Thanks for the suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZSpeed Report post Posted November 26, 2015 Factory. Was looking at Buffalo Bore but I wasn't sure what bullet weight/type would work best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azslim Report post Posted November 27, 2015 I used 180 gr rds in mine, javelina aren't big, used 110 gr for .357, all handloads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted November 27, 2015 I would not use a HP, they are not hard to kill so I would use a 180 or 240 jacketed bullet with an exposed flat lead tip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Report post Posted November 29, 2015 A 240 XTP would be perfect in my opinion. I've shot 5 with a 250 XTP loaded to 1400FPS in my Freedom Arms .454 without issue. Plenty flat for 75 yards. Pick one standing broadside and aim 1/3 of the way up the collar and you will not waste any meat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azslim Report post Posted November 29, 2015 my hunting load, it's a bit on the hot side 25.5 grs 2400, CCI Lg Mag Pistol primer and a 180 gr jacketed hollowpoint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted November 30, 2015 2400 is the classic 44 powder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
