I'd like to hear from anyone who has any experience or knowledge about 
hunting with a .45 ACP. I shoot a Colt .45 in Steel Challenge competition, an
offshoot of IPSC (rapid fire, multiple target, timed competition). The pistol
is highly modified and very accurate, and I'm thinking about going after
deer and/or turkey next season, probably using the Remington 185gr. +P
hollowpoints, which have a muzzle velocity of 1200fps and energy of 600 lbs.

Any comments on this idea? I'm not really up to spending $600+ on a nice
rifle and scope just to shoot once a year.
