Thanks Mr. Denny;
I have ruled out Hollow points in favor of solid bullets for the of penetration afforded by the solids. I think, however that 'plated' bullets might do better than plain lead, and that a lighter 180 gr. would work well on deer the 250 gr. and above for pigs. I may be wrong though.
I have shot 180s, 200s and 250s through my Vaqueros useing 'cowboy loads' But realize that hotter loads are more appropraite for game, thus I plan to up the powder weight in my reloads.
I would like opinions on which bullet, if either is better for the hunt plain lead or plated solids.
