What type of ammunition have you guys found that really anchors a hog quick. I know shot placement is #1 and a 22short will do it. I'm talking about bad situation quick not ideal shot hog stopper. I got into a bad situation recently and learned real quick how fast it can go bad and I want something that's gonna cause maximum trauma right now. Any input is appreciated.

Also I reload so I'll probably be just buying components and getting them at the velocity I like just mainly looking for the right bullet

I use Hornady 240 grain.
I'm not proud of it, but I took a bad shot and wound up gut shooting a pig a while back. That 240 grains took his guts out and he only ran about 50 yards before he piled up.

Heavy led that will retain its weight is what I like. I usually use the 240 grain but really try and stay away from the hollow points. They can fragment if they hit a limba and you can end up shooting more than what you want to.

Thanks for all the replies I'm trying to decide which way to go we got in a bad group and had dogs getting whooped left and right and they weren't running away all 180+ and mean they did a number on the bulldog so we started shooting. I made some decent shots and some not so decent never ran into a situation like that before but I was not liking the performance I was getting out of solid shoulder hits with it at less than 15ft-30ft or so they'd stumble and come back up were definitely not still in the fight 100% but I wanted them out of it 100%. No chance at good head shots in the place we were stuck and it was getting hairy quick.

I have had good luck with the hornady lever everlution or how ever you spell it LOL. Also a good hardcast bullet works good. I like them in the 240 gr to 250 grns

X2 on the Hornady Leverevolution. It has a polymer tipped bullet that is extremely accurate in my Ruger model 96 lever gun. Have a few of them to my buddy who shoots a 44 mag. Pistol, he shot a hog with one of them and went to buy a few boxes if his own. I think they perform very well on hogs.

I can vouch for the Hornady Leverevoultion ammo as well. 225 gr at 1400 fps and will wop a hog.
