Probably not. Funny, Larryw and I had that very conversation a week or so ago. I know that 45 acp and lead projectiles go together like PB and J, but my lead supplies are limited and that's all I use in 44mag, 45 colt and 357. I don't shoot any of those near as much right now but one never knows when he'll get back to it. My Pro Melt hasn't fired up in over two years, it's just sitting there with a half pot of lead looking forlornly at me. NOW, having said that, when I get into loading 45 Super I will probably look to some lead bullets just for the performance in a hunting scenario. Not sure where to go there as I haven't really studied that caliber near enough. But from what I HAVE read (a bit) you can push a 255gr to 1200fps which equals "most" of what I load in my 45 Colts (Rugers). Pretty potent I would think. May be good for your hog hunting....up close and personal...
