What made you decide on your big bore choice for hunting?

I chose the AirForce Texan LSSCF in a .50 cal for multiple reasons. First being the accuracy, to get an ethical kill you need a rifle that puts the round in the same spot every time. Second is clearly knock down power… not the other way around. I also have a Zeus .72 cal and it’s Ridonculous! The Texan .50 will easily drop a 400+ pound pig, but the Zeus… yikes. btw; my Zeus is up for sale on this site, that’s my shameless plug for the day. lolSo I am asking, through all the reviews, write ups etc; What made you decide to go with the brand and model you picked specifically for hunting larger game?
My recommendation for hunters who wish to go after large game is the Texan LSSCF in .457, rifle when properly tuned is insanely accurate, will drop just about anything this side of a very large bear. Equally important is the ammo selections available for the .457 is limitless. Mr. HP makes excellent hunting ammo, I like the .510 .485gr HP Macro that he makes, and more importantly… so does my rifle.
Important note; the Texan LSSCF is a larger rifle, mine has a custome wood stock that adds more weight, so at 14lbs 5oz it’s not exactly light. But this has never bothered me personally. I am 64 years young, 5’7”, and weigh 160… not a big guy. When hiking with the Texan I sometimes minimize how many extras are in my pack, to keep my overall weight at a reasonable number.
