I feel that he was well armed, with a gun he was very comfortable with.
Certain calibers are more on speed then others. A 44mag from a 16 inch barrel will mess up just about anything regardless of the bullet's construction. Kinda like shooting a cannon ball. Doesn't matter what it's made of or what it hits.

While in other calibers construction and speed does matter
