    I use my Winchester Mod 94AE .44 mag all the time. The best ammo I have found is the Hornady Leverlution ammo in 225gr. It out shoots the Rem ammo anyday of the week. Go for a head or neck shot if you can. I have shot hogs at well over a hundred yds through the boiler room also with this gun and those bullets.

    Thanks for the replies. @txbhunter1, how do the hornadyLE ammo hold up after hitting a hog? I figured it would be more accurate than the rem or win, which is what I use now. The reason I ask about it holding up is because I have heard people taking about the HornadyLE bullet breaking apart and desinigrating upon impact after hitting heavy bone(like a skull or shoulder) of large hogs, I have not tried this ammo yet but would propably give them a try and see for myself,and thanks again for the reply.

    I have had no issues with them breaking apart. Expansion is real good. Had lots os issues with the Rem ammo doing just as you said. I know once you try them, you'll be sold on the ammo.

    They are a bit pricey, but well worth it.

    I used this gun to kill plenty of hogs, one down fall range, but will stop them in their tracks
