Ya need to keep something in mind here and that is that Ranch and Cross shoot competition. Me,FlyboyFlem and Ed too-many-letters just like to shoot and hunt. The old dead guys managed to do some great long range shooting and kill a schidtload of buffler and other critters without magic wands. Keep that in mind. The big 45's are pure killing machines. some of the bestest that ever hit the bricks.
You need to keep in you recoil obsessive and addled mind that I LIVED on wild meat for years, North of the Medicine Line, for MANY years, and was letting air into moose, elk and deer with my .43 Mauser, and my re-barreled (Hoke) original Ballard Pacific in 45-120 in the 1970s and 1980s.
The OP is asking about ACCURACY, and a path thereto is being provided for him, Jim.
