I would go with a 5 1/2 or 6 inch 45 Colt and shoot either a 325 grain LFN or 335 ELFN. The 45 Colt properly loaded and there or a few manufacturers of properly loaded 300+ grain bullets. Gives up very little to a 454 (if anything) in the game fields

The 45 Colt does all of this very effectively in the low 30 thousand PSI range, making it a pleasure to shoot. Plus the fact that 6 rounds in the cylinder is the rule, not the exception


That would be my choice as well, but if limited to factory ammo, there's not a whole lot available that you will find at just any gun shop.
