Thinking about shooting a hog with my 44-40 Winny, & old Vaquero SA revolver. Would like to use 200gr. cast lead bullets. Any good formulas, or better ideas?

  I have a custom built 94 with an original Winchester 44-40 barrel. I'm shooting 200gr "Colorado Cast Bullets" (.429) over 12gr of BlueDot. Haven't killed anything with it but it shoots great and has easy recoil..I use the same powder charge with Sierra 185gr JHP's and it shoots even better..Sure is a fun shooting the old 44-40..
  Good luck..
