So Luckydog, you're going to recommend a load to someone else that is not legal in your state?.....and probably not legal in his state either!
And yes.....I've owned a .45 Long Colt in a Ruger Blachhawk and in a M-92 Winchester lever gun.....which is irrelevant to this discussion!
For the record.....I really don't care what he hunts with....I'd prefer he hunted within the laws of his state.....but that's his business.....He asked for opinions......and not only did I give mine....I gave reasons as well.....
Review your post!
Another short story....I had a friend in Minnesota that killed a very nice buck in his pasture.....he used a .410 slug and did the job with one well placed shot.....the .410 slug doesn't have much different energy than the factory loaded .45 Colt.....does that mean one should recommend the .410 as a deer hunting weapon? Not in my eyes....
