Some may not be on your list, but work great from personal experience:

1. For rapid fire semi-auto fans: 401WSL. Honestly, out to 75-100 yards, i've not had a better hog-gun in my hands.


2. 50-70 in anything, including BP loadings (even the old "toops" of the 1870's complained that the mew-fangled 45-70 didn't kill horses as well, and the way to break up a charge back then was to shoot the horse out form under the indians).

3.Martini Henry in 577/450. Most of them are a bit long, but considering you get one shot, fast handing is kind of over rated.

Basically, I've going to vote for anything with a diamter of over .40" and the ability to make a hole all the way though to the other side.
