[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2287013, member: 75779"] Which is better Ferrari or Lamborghini? No wrong decision with either of your guns. The 450 will have tons of thump at that distance... just be careful of the bullet you choose. FTX bullets have been a bit unpredictable. Same can be said about the 300. Bullet selection will be fairly important due to the likelihood of extreme fragmentation (w/copper+lead bullets). In either case, I'd opt for a mono bullet.... this is where they shine. The photo is my buddies black bear. He shot it with a 45 Raptor w/250 gr bonded Shockwave. This was the entrance side. Animal died very quickly. The 450 BM is very similar to the 45 Raptor. [/QUOTE]
