Great information guys! Very intelligent answers. Thank you. what about FPE? Am I wrong in thinking that the .54 will give me more stopping power on bigger game? I keep all my shots under 100 yds, and my primary game in the lower 48 is boar, deer and bear. But I would love to take moose and some african game with my smokepole. With that being said, what would be better, .50 or .54? I know I am asking alot from one gun, but I want it to be as versatile as possible.
