and I thought 30-06 was overkill on hogs..
If I can shoot the 30-06 as well as the 223, I'll probably use it. I've chosen the 60 gr Nosler partition for the 223 and with the 30-06 I'll just use a softpoint 150 gr or heavier.
The 45 has a good, solid safety and i would carry it with a round in the chamber. The Hi Power has a safety that doesn't have as solid index and carrying it with a round in the chamber doesn't give me the same confidence that the safety will stay on.
