    FMJ or JHP in .45ACP

    I had someone recently say to me that FMJ in .45 ACP was plenty for self defense load....I know any number of bullet profiles will shoot accurately in my pistol so what do you all think? Is penetration with a smaller hole (20"+) better than 13" inches with an expanding hollow point round...

    Hunting with .357mag Revolver

    I have used a 6" GP100 with 180 Grain Winchester Partition Gold to harvest a doe at 63YDS. The bullet went through that deer like she was toilet paper and she dropped on the spot!

    Taurus PT1911 or alternatives?

    Ruger or 1911?

    I love Ruger's and 1911A1 designs. I have never had that particular Ruger but have shot a P345 (single stack)and it felt great and was accurate with everything it digested. If I was looking for another .45ACP (and I am) it will be a 1911A1....I love it's feel and it's distinguished history.

    Ballistic gelatin test results - .41 Magnum

    It looks like there's a lot of disruption/ wounding of the gelatin compared to the lack of expansion of the projectile. Is this the type of wounding/ wound channel that can be expected in a moderate to fast moving slug of this design?
