.45 caliber RB enough for deer?

[Graybeard2A]

I've used 440 for years & has served me very well!( pure lead only!!)

This question is just like the one we always get on the traditional archery sites. "Is 40 pounds enough" It's been asked hundreds of times.

Yes the 45 RB is enough for deer hunting! Even with a lot less powder, the .45 is FULLY capable.

I've killed some deer in the 200 lb class with .45s; never needed but the one shot. While I no longer hunt the .45 was my go-to for many years. I'm also a believer in using the caliber that best fits the game. Small game was usually taken with a .32 or .36; deer with a .45 and up.
