How can a 230gr FMJ be heavier than a 230 JHP :scratch:
.45 acp would be fine "almost" everything you would encounter in the woods in IN. IMO you would be under gunned in an encounter with a wild hog of any size.
I have 2 of the 3 Ruger offerings, (they are going to have me broke at this rate) and find that the Cmd shoots a little softer than the full size. The Cmd is my EDC in a IWB and the full size gets out of the house whenever the OC bug hits me. Both have over 2k of my home rolled lead through them...
