I've known others who own 41mags and think highly of them. My first hg was a 44mag and it was a great gun. For the possible reason of having the 44 first might be why I might not be a favorite or care to own 1? People's choices are their own and not 1 thing wrong with that!
I’ve seen hogs take 2-3 .308 hits and keep going.
It’s all shot placement and size of hog , obviously.
Conversely, I’ve dropped hogs with 1 round of .45 +p and a .357 .
