Since I had a Winchester bolt action .45 many years ago I was always mad at myself for selling it. After picking up a .50 V2 Accura and hunting with it a few years I sort of got over it, but then found a used Kodiak .45 in good shape and cheap so I picked it up and began shooting it in earnest and found that I actually liked it better than the more expensive .50. They both shot the same great 1" or less at 100, but the Kodiak weighs about two pounds more than the Accura and I hunt on a veritable mountain of a hill so I hunted the Kodiak one day and shot a deer and said its staying home now. Fast forward another couple years and I acquired a second hand .45 Patriot that had been shot both with bh and smokeless. I decided to keep the Patriot smokeless and have never really looked back in favor of the .50.
I know others here have both calibers and other that probably have a mess of other calibers. For the sake of keeping things simple, I ak, what caliber of in-line is your preference: .45 or .50?
