All I have to add to this is I've seen the images from the Florida guys. Quite impressive!
I took my Walker hunting semi-wild Pig last April. Used a 225 grain Lee conical from soft lead. Set it on top of 52 grains of 3Fg Goex. I got in close enough for a 20 yard shot broadside. Conical went through BOTH lungs on a 280+ pound Pig (she weighed-in at 239 after field dressing & skinning)! A one-shot STOP; the Pig merely fell-over sideways. Brought the 3rd Model Dragoon as a back-up (loaded with round ball). I was the second in our hunting party of eight to require only ONE projectile.
Revolver hunting is like bow hunting. Slow, steady, determined, and most of all accurate! These smokewagons loaded with conicals will do the deed quite well! Take it from me, as I'm still eatin' off the end result, lol!
