I agree with this statement. What happens for most folks, and this is what the hunting rules here are dealing with, is that they get a really cool looking gun, head to the woods, try to use it at a gazillion yards and end up only wounding an animal. Dispatching wounded deer at close range is one thing, hunting them to a possible 100 yard shot or better makes the good old 45ACP a poor choice unless, maybe fired from a carbine.

FWIW
