Has anyone tried or heard of anyone using a solid copper Lehigh 45-200 in a wild hog? I've read about their shield and would think a 200gr would be more effective than a .357-140gr load. I live in CA.
In your case then give those copper 45s a try…they should do just fine, probably like our solid hard cast revolver loads we shoot ‘em with.I live in CA and have tried hunting hogs once. CA requires copper bullets. That sucks for someone who casts bullets. I am starting to carve my own bows starting with plum wood that belonged to my grandparents. I'd like to use a bow first and have the handgun as backup or an option. The conditions in CA are different too. You have to drive far to find a place to hunt and sometimes even have to pay.
Exactly. They are not that hard to put down with a reasonable amount of skill.I have killed hundreds with .22 lr, you have to shoot the right spot with such low power but they get just as dead. I have also driven over some that got up running, so lots of energy isn’t a guarantee, if it’s not applied in the right spot.

So, several folks have not been thrilled with the screwdriver bullets, the wfn as Craig mentioned, or the barnes xpbs would probably serve you better.I live in CA and have tried hunting hogs once.
