After reading several of the posts on using BP pistols I am wondering "what practical value does a .45 cal, 1858 Remington revolver have for hunting purposes?"
It seems that many suggest it is marginal for most anything but small game and with a .45 cal bullet, it wouldn't seem practical for meat or fur harvest. While they sound like a bunch of fun to shoot targets with or play cowboy, what value would they be to the hunter or outdoor sportsperson?
