RE: Best caliber?
Jacko ,
the .54 cal was originally developed by the mountain men for elk or larger game with a patched round ball in a flintlock . They wanted something with a little more punch than the .50 cals of the day . With modern bullets and propellents either size would do , but I' d go with the .50 for more downrange energy .
