im trying to figgure out if useing my .45 caliber rigby will be enough to shoot bear or moose if i ever get the chance.
i know people say .45 is to small. but most .45 caliber guns use a rather small bullet, the one im useing is 527 grains, quite large in comparison.
anyone got some calculations that i could use. or know if it would be big enough to down a bear (i would assume so im thinking the bullet would knock a large deer off its feet as its long and when it hits im sure it will bend and tumble as it enters the body. )
