Been wanting a .44 Mag pistol to try hunting with.
If intended game is only MuleDeer and BlackBear here in SoCal, and I was going to purchase a Ruger Super Redhawk, (in either 7.5" or 9.5").
.44 Mag should be fine right?
What real-world reasons would there be for instead going for one of the other caliber choices offered in that firearm?
I know about .454 Casull being able to do .45LC for cheaper practice.

Between .44 Mag and .454 Casull, for these intended species. There should be no appreciable convincing difference to warrant bumping up to the .454 Casull, right? other than being able to practice w/ cheaper .45LC.
What say ye?
EDIT: already bought .44 Mag bullets and cases for when I'd bought that Marlin 1894. But since it couldn't shoot lead-free's accurately, been thinking maybe get a .44 Mag hunting revolver and give that a go.
