[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5068554, member: 6230"] either one works but if you want local ammo, id go with the 44mag. you can order hunting ammo for the 45 and even at standard pressures it will put a 250 xtp grain thru a deer at 50 yards, and maybe 2 side by side. the 255gr keith swc is a killer even at standard pressures but the there are 2 problems with 45lc in rugers for lead bullets. cylinder throat dimensions and a .001 bulge forward of the forcing cone where they torque the barrel. the stainless models dont seem to have the bulge but still have the throat problem. the barrel bulge and cylinder throat problem will cause leading and accuracy issues if not addressed. they still shoot jacketed bullets accurate enough for hunting though.
