For hogs I know one concern is penetration. On an upcoming hunt I am planning to mainly use my ar10 and my friend is using a .308 savage axis which should be more than adequate obviously. For this I was planning to buy basic SP hunting ammo. Frankly I was thinking of using whatever cheap name brand ammo I could find. I assume this would be fine considering it's .308 and a bit overkill to begin with?
I also plan to bring pistols for myself and my hunting buddy as a backup. I was thinking a .45 Springfield 1911 and a .357 Ruger GP100. For pistol velocities I have read it's best to FMJ to ensure you get good penetration. Is this what most of you do as well? I had read that HP and SP can deform so much at the thick hide that with pistol velocities they end up just under the skin and not always hitting vitals.
