in .45 ACP. The profile was about like the old Speer 200 gr. flying ashtray. lol Being cast I could push it easily as fast or a little better than a the 230 gr. FMJ ball. It was a real hammer in the Govt. model.

Not very scientific but I used to gauge energy transfer by shooting split Oak firewood stood on it's end. The visual of the impact and how or if it knocked it over. Some .44's shot straight through and would not knock them over. It seemed the .45 255 FN and a .357 JHP had about the same impact response! Any hit above midline, it would really smack it over.

Looking at getting a compact 1911, - TM, 2022-04-11, 14:12
