Figured this would be the best place to post this... hope I was right.
My question is more about defense against animals while camping, rather than actually hunting them.
I'm about ready to purchase a Colt Single Action Army in 45 Colt. I've already started buying the cowboy loads for fun and a box of some Buffalo Bore Heavy 45 Colt that is rated as being safe for the Colt (per Buffalo Bore).
It fires a 255 grain gas checked soft cast round at 1000fps.

What animals could one reasonably expect to be able to 'handle' with this load, given good shot placement?!?! I know a Kodiak bear ain't one of them.
