Cor-Bon's 180 grain or Federal's 180 grain (44B) medium-velocity JHP are the hands-down choices in this caliber. Glasers, the Winchester Silvertip 210 grain JHP (X44MSTHP2) or the Federal 240 grain Hydra-shok (P44HS1) are also acceptable choices. These rounds will deliver the most stopping power without exiting the hog and possibly hitting a dog on the back side of the hog. These factory loads are designed to enter and STOP the person or animal with out passing through.
personally I like the Federal 180 grain (44B) medium-velocity JHP.

The most effective handgun round on the market - regardless of caliber - is the Federal .357 Magnum 125 grain jacketed hollowpoint (357B). This load has more stopping power than any other handgun bullet (and this includes more powerful rounds like the .41 and .44 Magnums).
This 357 round will also stop a hog in his tracks without exiting the animal.
