New to Arkansas….need a good 45 Colt load for Rossi

[Echo154]

Me and the boss…..er ah Mrs. Move into North Central Arkansas a few months back….just found my trail cams caught some feral hogs milling about…..guess I’ll start carrying my mountain Gun for nightly walks instead of a 9mm. They are considered invasive and can be taken year round. Looking for a good round for my R92 45 Colt..16” for popping them?

They are not bullet proof. Any .45 Colt load should do just fine.
I've killed them with nearly every caliber i have (though my favorite is 00 buck)

A 6.5 Grendel or .300 Blackout are my most common.

Kill them all!

Plan to….I have only had the R92 45 a few months and not had a lot of time to try loads yet…moving, broke ankle…..yeah lots of rocks and steep hills here! Ive got a 92 20” in 44 mag but like the shorter barrel….my land is just recovering from logging and lots of brush…gonna do some brush hogging……to clear (pun intended) in the spring to get it more deer friendly…..leaving all the oak, hickory, walnut etc just clearing cedar and scrub. Only got about 7 acres but 36 acres of public land next door and several thousand acres that Forrest Wood owned and is kept for cattle and wild life…no hunting ….Mark Twain national Forrest just over the hill….so I imagine lots of hogs! By the By….i love your location

We had an F4 tornado come through about 3 years ago. It left a half-mile wide strip of downed trees.
The deer love the chaos that grew out of it, but the hogs stayed away for almost a whole year. They are back in full force now. I've been getting good use out of my thermal scope.

[Echo154]

Yeah…thermal is above my pay grade…..shorter ranges here(very hilly and thick brush. Ive got a set of Bravo 7s to find em then I’ll have to light em up.
