How "big" a caliber is necessary/preferred for knocking bowling pins off a table?
There was a match at MRA last Saturday that said "357 or larger" but I haven't gotten an answer to what "or larger" means.
Does .40 S&W count? It's technically larger, but does it have enough "go"? Are target .45 ACP hot enough, or do they need to be full power? I've got some CCI Blazer .357 Magnum that are not nearly as powerful as some R-P loads, which makes me wonder if the blazer would cut it.
Maybe there's a power-factor number that I can aim for or something .....
