[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2319884, member: 711"] Have only read the first page, so maybe it's been addressed. My recommendation is the largest .44 mag you can comfortably carry around, but whatever you get, if you expect to ever encounter hogs, stay away from hollow point ammo. It really pi$$e$ 'em off unless you put it in exactly the right place. Heavy lead (jacketed or not) bullets are best. I use 300 grain flat nosed bullets, and have some CorBon 305 grain jacketed flat nose rounds that are truly fierce. As for snakes, a hiking staff does wonders. You can move the snake out of your way with one, and if that doesn't work you can kill it very quickly and quietly. It's more dramatic to shoot them, but sometimes you don't want to make all that noise. [/QUOTE]
