The USA is renowned for its .45 Caliber loadings. From the .45 Caliber black powder non-cartridge guns to the cartridge guns in 45-65, 45-70, 45-90, 45-120, 45 Colt, 45 Long Colt, all the way down to the venerable .45ACP. There are other big game loads and probably a few more pistol variants as well. Could it be that .45 Caliber American loadings are the longest running on the planet? It may be that every 45 Caliber loading is capable of its intended mission and hence may well be the ultimate short range stopper for hunting or defense. There is something .45 Caliber loaded in America for nearly every task. It works whether it expands on impact or not. It works in the brush, in the heavy rain and snow, in the wind. Is there ONE cartridge in .45 that works pistol or rifle for big game and defense?
