The majority of my shots will be at around 40-60 yards in pretty thick stuff. So I'm thinking the heavier bullet may be the way to go. I've got a Nikon Prostaff 4x scope that I had on a 22. I'm gonna put that on it and yeah pretty much good stuff. I figure I'll set both the wolverine and the wolf up and keep the wolf as my spare.
Unless you are shooting longer range with the .357 or .40cal bullets, the .45 is going to gain you nothing and cost you versatility.
