I picked up 500 rounds of 45 LC last night in a trade. I don't have a 45 LC so I was thinking about buying one. Would a 45 LC be a good enough elk round at 50 yards? I'm talking factory ammo because I don't reload. I know a 454 casull we be good enough, I just know where there is a smoking deal on a 45LC.

Thanks Bryan
There is no comparison between a 454 Casull load and the standard factory loaded 45 COLT! The 454 is OK for elk at short ranges, but the 45 COLT standard 250-grain lead roundnose bullet at 850 FPS is not! Some of the heavy 45 COLT loads available are a different story.
