minimum of .40 cal. I suggest anyone who wants to start in this class to go with the 44 mag. Plenty of ammo choices for the non-handloader.
My preference is the 45 Colt Ruger or now has graduated to the 454 Casull for being my go too. (like the 475-480 below)

As for a "major" caliber, anything over .45, The 480 Ruger is hard to beat for the non-handloader who is going bigger than his 44 mag. The 475 Linebaugh is the next logical step as it could shoot the 480's too. That is about the most horsepower the average shooter will "enjoy". That doesn't count some of the loonies I am lumped with. ( If y'all will have me) It is also capable of anything on earth in the proper hands and with proper projectiles.

I find the 500 Linebaugh to be a bit more 'gentile' feeling ( my perception, you mileage may vary ) than the full house 475 Linebaugh, however save a few boutique manufacturers, it is a handloading proposition. Being a handloader, I really like the 500 L. It can be handloaded with 300 grain cast bullets over trail boss for giddy fun shooting, or with 450-480 grain casts over H110 for loads that are salty enough to take anything on earth, if you, the shooter can apply them
accurately.

So I guess my steps are 44,454,480,500 Linebaugh. Depending on the size of hammer I need for the job.
