How do YOU define "most powerful"? Do you know anything about handguns?
If you are considering just the size of the bullet, look here...

mid 1980's and I went to a gun show at Norco, Calif. You could shoot any
of
the guns there. Was about a buck a shot for the 454 casull. Saw what it
did to a steel plate, cool. And also what it did to the shooter. No
thanks at shooting it.

Knew a real westerner couldn't be phooled. Ah, but Harry, he's an
eastern dude with known physical coordination challenges. Expect he'd
crack his skull 'bout down the middle of his forehead if he touched one
off...a well deserved mod, IMO.

Well, you could be fooled as Kansas is not the west.

Quite a few deer hunters use large pistols, although .44 magnum works
about as well as .454, in the hands of a skilled shooter.


Deer hunter...there's something inherently amusing about that phrase...a
false implication of mystery, danger, intrigue, skill...

Sorry...I see too many deer crossing the woods on my property to think it
requires any particular high-level skill to shoot and kill one with a
gun. I could use my upper level French door opening as a "stand," and
shoot one deer after another from 100 yards away.



You've apparently never met a good hunter who was also concerned with
choosing the right ones to take from a certain population in an area. Some
hunters are managers as much as marksmen.


And there is a large difference between the local well fed deer in a
neighborhood and one out in the wild that gets hunted by man and beast
alike. We have a couple of mountain lions in the area, but they are
severely out numbered by the deer. You have to go at least 10 miles from
here before you could hunt them. Every once in a while, one gets hit by a
car, but they are pretty good at getting out of the way. Lots of
experience, and speed limits.

I have a Magnum Research Lone Eagle in 30-06. That's one damn powerful
handgun, much more so than a .454. I also have a 30-30 barrel for it so
I can take my Winchester 94 in 30-30 and the pistol and they can both
use the same ammo.

Steve

The problem is the barrel length. The rifle cartridge is set up for a burn
of about 14-16 inches of barrel length. Smokeless powder is a propellant,
not an explosive. You are still having bunches of unburned powder as the
bullet leaves the barrel. Lots of flash. Years ago, I had a Rugar 30
Carbine shooting pistol. If you did not kill the animal, you burned it
alive with the muzzle blast.

Skippy,

Which gun do you own?
A Ruger .22 rimfire?
Or a cute little .25 auto that can fit in the palm of your hand?

I know a few hunters who use a Thompson Center .35 for hunting. Real
accurate out to 100 yards with a scope and tripod.

I wonder if all the hair on his fingers gets snagged in the trigger.

I did not know that, you from Kansas? As to boating, they do have lakes and
a very large river bordering the state.
