54 Cal.
I have often wondered about a .45 cal rifle in a fast twist percussion shooting a conical as a perfect big game hunting rifle (hellooo IdahoRon, lol). The .45 is the minimum for hunting big game in my province, which is a big factor in cal selection. Also you can utilize a smaller barrel with the .45 thus reducing rifle weight for anything carrying long distances or hill country/mountain hunting. The .45 lead conical loaded with 70-80gr of powder at reasonable hunting ranges is more than capable of cleanly harvesting even the biggest of all animals in North America, including the big bears (think .45-70 gov. folks!). Equip the rifle with a quality set of sights in whatever works best for your eyes, stock it for your taste and the perfect rig is born.
Anyhow, just rattling on about my thoughts.
