Guy heads into the field to answer a classic hunting question: if you had to choose between a big-bore handgun and a big-bore lever-action rifle for close-range hog hunting, which would you carry? In this video, he compares a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter in .44 Magnum and a Marlin 1895 in .45-70 Government, loaded with Hornady hunting bullets, and puts both to the test on wild hogs. Along the way, he covers the load data, rifle and revolver setups, bullet selection, trajectory, and—most importantly—real-world terminal performance. Which would you choose for your next hog hunt? Check it out!
