What other cartridges have y'all used for long long plinking. Just curious.
I primarily am a .44 Mag guy, though enjoy playing with the .45 ACP, and to a lesser extent the .45 Colt.
The .45 Colt and .44 Mag being so close performance wise, for long range stuff I just normally stick with one.
Provided that you get a .45 Colt that is properly sized/throated, it really is hard to beat, and equally capable in its flexibility (from mellow plinking loads to elk/dinosauer stompers).
