It's the preferredcaliber for hunting with a patched round ball for larger deer and otherbig game animalslike bear, boar,elk,moose etc...
It shoots a larger 225 grain round ballinstead of a 177 grain round ball for betterpenetration, especially atlonger huntingdistancesbecause it carries more energy and momentum downrangewhile creating a largerwound channel.
It's a versatile hunting and target shootingcaliber.
Itcan alsoshoot alarge varietyof different caliber bullets, sabots and conicals.
Owningguns&barrelsislike an investmentor having money in the bank.
Gun stuffcan always be sold off in whole or part.
Sometimes theopportunity to aquireanitem only knocks once. If this is one of those times, then consider all ofthe circumstances before making a finaldecision.

Size does matter and variety is the spice of life Jess. [8D] The 54 gives you that extra margin as cited by previous posters.
