RE: Pistol Killing Power
Thats ok I would only own one of those three anyway for big game hunting. In Garrets testing the 330 grain 44 Mag out penetrates the 300 grain 375 H&H. On frontal shots on grizzlys it normally penetrates to the rear hips even if the skull is encountered. It shoots through elk even if both front shoulders are hit. They recommend shoulder shots on all big game with that bullet. Recoil in heavy duty revlovers is not bad at all. I have shot the load in a friends Redhalk. Todays bullet technology allows the use of smaller calibers but supplies great stopping power.
I may still try a 454 to add a little range though I feel that its seldom needed.
