Either would bring down an Elk. Now 200 yards will take some practice with a handgun. There are a lot of bullets for both, loaded correctly they will take just about any game animal. I think with the 45 cal you would get a flatter shooting projectile. I use the 460 for long range shooting and my 500 for up close. JMHO.  :D
