Are you looking for Cast or Jacketed loads? Both can be effective on hogs and deer

Some that have worked well for me are
Pretty hot ones
23gr of H110 and a 240gr Nosler HPs
18.5gr of H110 amd a 300gr Hornady XTP

Lighter ones I use in the S&W use Hodgdon Universal Powder
Lead 240 hard cast Semi Wad Cutters 10gr
Hornady XTP 240gr 9.5gr



lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I just can't get an accurate HEAVY load out of my Redhawk. I can get ragged holes with 1000fps and less, but nothing heavy.

I like heavy crimps with H110 or Win 296, and have found either to be the best in my magnum level loads.

Yup. W296 for me.

From 18-22 grains of 2400 (suit to your liking) behind a 240gr hard cast or jacketed bullet will get you the most accurate load you can find.
With H110/W296, it's either a max load or nothing.
