If all i had was a 45acp. It would be stoked with Double Tap 45 +p 255 gr SWC Hardcast. That may work on a Black Bear????
rocky mountains of Colorado would you rather have a .45acp or a .44 magnum on your hip?
........... My problem is that a .45 would be effective against humans (high cap, faster target acquisition, more common caliber) but not great for large game defense
The .44Mag distinctly has a 100fps advantage across the board with all bullet weights. The .44Mag, at the upper end, maintains a sectional density advantage over the .45Colt. The two cartridges are so distinctly equal it ain't even funny.It distinctly outperforms the 44MAG period.
Ever tried hardball on something live? I have, it is dismal beyond words. Yes, it's put a lot of people in the ground but so has the .22LR.The 230 grain FMJ at 850 fps has buried fascists, communists, totalitarians, zealots, guerrillas, anarchists and tribesmen on various continents across the globe.
