I am at the point where I want to get a bigger revolver for deer hunting and just for fun. I have read the articles on the different larger calibers but I'm wondering what the REAL difference is in 454 Casull vs 480 Ruger (or other suitable alternative) against the good old 45 LC (loaded up in a Ruger).
Also saw the Magnum Research 45-70 but seems a little bulky to carry, although if the ballistics supported it that's the way I'd go. Guess what I'm asking is, comparing a similar size bullet of say 300 grains, what's the difference in velocity, power. Recoil is not particularly an issue unless it's totally wicked.
