2 years ago, fellow called me and the president of our club, he had just shot an 8 pt in the neck with his 30-06 and been looking for it for an hour could not find it. We went to the club the next 2 days and looked a couple of hours each day, finally found the rest of the deer where the coyote's had not eaten it. Neck intact no hole in it, probably hit him too far back but could not tell that, just no hole or damage to the neck. These anecdotal stories are great fun but do not prove that the 9mm is not equal to the 45ACP. In my desk drawer I have 40 Underwood 147 grain hard cast cartridges that I load in my P365 when I carry it hunting, different mission, different bullets.
Yoh discount anything that doesnt fit your agenda, effectiveness with proper ammo in each is not far apart but not the same. I saw a man shot a deer in the neck and the bullet exited and broke the offside shoulder the deer ran across a field with leg dangling. Deer was not located until the following morning and was still alive. The bullet missed the vertebrae and broke the offside shoulder without hitting any vital organs It happens
Why don't you actually shoot a deer or pig with your prefered load and get some real experience
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first
