Fellas anyone hunt with either calibre and if so what do you hunt?
I hunt in a place where shots are almost always within 30 yards and the deer rarely weigh more than 80-90 pounds. I used to have a Glock 17 with a Wilson barrel that was extremely accurate with a hot 124-grain handload. In those days I was shooting that pistol about 10k rounds per year between IDPA and and testing ammo, so I felt confident enough to take it. I zeroed it 1" high at 25 yards, which put that load 1" low at 50 yards.
I didn't see anything that time out but I wasn't worried about whether the pistol, the shooter, or the load could do the job. If the deer were bigger or the ranges longer, then I'd have taken a 44 or 45.
