[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2742954, member: 109862"] Obviously this only applies up to a point but to use an extreme example…the 204 ruger has a heck of a lot more energy than than original loadings for a 44-40 or .45 colt. While neither are good choices really I know without question which one I’d want if I had to pick from these options to defend myself from a charging bear or wild boar in a situation where you absolutely could not be sure you’d hit the exact right spot. But you’re comment on bullet construction is spot on. I’ve also seen deer sized game go for a loooooong run when hit with 180 grain premiums from a .30-06 (Have a friend that insists on one load for everything, 180 tsx - on double lung deer hits that’s slooow) that just punched a hole basically and pile up real fast from simple soft points from a .243.
