Trying to decide between .50 cal and .54 cal for Eastern Whitetails for probably next year. Every time i search threads it seems its always bigger is better/bigger they only take a few steps followed by someone saying it all depends on placement and either is completely fine. Could someone compare them to modern rifles cartridge's. example being would the .50 cal be like the .243 of rifles or would it be more in the midsize .270 range and then is the .54 the 300win mag or more of a .308.
i know powder charge/size makes the difference but didn't know if there is an easy comparison like that. Again its tying to compare not saying a .50 cal flintlock is equal to a .243 or 6.5 in power just comparing them.
