I just was given a Heritage Rough Rider in 45 colt. Is it enough gun to take down a deer? I have read you can't put high pressure loads through it. I am into reloading so I can make up a good load within specs. What do you all think? The reason I question this I have fired it and it doesn't seem to have the power as my 38.
