The most used and popular calibers, and those associated with handgun hunting, the 44’s and 45’s.
This is going to be a 3 part article of calibers suitable for handgun hunting feral hogs and we will deal with those calibers that are typically used in revolvers. I will attempt to cover each group of calibers sufficiently and provide some good examples and information.
