pab1, I have used the Remington JSP's on several animals in both .44 and .41 caliber and I have been very pleased with them. I don't think I ever caught a .41 slug? I shot this hog in the right shoulder with a 240 grain, .44 caliber JSP and I recovered it in the left ham.


The slug took the use of the hog's front end away from him and he bulldozed himself out of sight, pushing with his rear legs, leaving a blood trail that a blind man could follow.

This is a photo of the recovered bullet on the right. For comparison purposes, the bullet on the left is a recovered 240 grain XTP.

Here are a couple more animals shot with the same bullet in a S&W revolver:




Both of these shots passed completely through the animal and resulted in clean, one-shot kills.

Hope this helps,
