Always curious why folks think it takes more to kill a 200 or 300 pound non-man than a 200 or 300 pound man?
I find this puzzling as well.

I'm sure many thousands of big game animals have been dispatched with aplomb via 45LC and lesser rounds with black powder. Dangerous game not with standing this trend over the last 25-30 years of magnum handguns being "needed" to kill big game is pure marketing. Sure I own a few boomer handguns simply because I can, but I'm not foolish enough to think they are needed.
Only further discussion I can see is that a guy cares about meat loss in hunting and not so much in SD where the object is to stop the threat as quickly as possible with more emphasis on tissue damage.
