Using "lesser" cartridges demands a higher level of skill and calls for common sense.
Sure, using a .45ACP on Bambi isn't anybody's first choice, generally. Way limited on range and power. but for those with the skill and patience, the .45ACP can be used successfully. Just because I wouldn't doesn't necessarily mean nobody should.
Anecdote example: My uncle "worked" his cattle via an old WW II Harley 45 motorcycle. He didn't like horses. The deer on his lttle ranch were used to the putt-chugga, and mostly just stood around when he was out checking around the pasture. Every now an then one would sorta volunteer, standing still at fifteen or so yards. Out with the trusty 1911 and a bullet between the eyes and so began the dirty work.
Sure, there's the "A man's gotta know his limitations," stuff, but a man's gotta know the limitations of his gear, as well.
