Citing underpowered factory fodder, some truth.

I also have a .45 Super duper and have shot 185-300 gr. loads from it. I do not recommend the latter, it was a test. Some 230 gr. (Super .45) can also safely do 1300 in limited quantities, in special prepped guns. With a swinging link like the 1911 it takes some very special prep to get away with that for a long time. Throating, comp., special multi stage recoil system etc.

From my experience the 10 and .45 Super are about equal with custom hot loads in special prepped guns. Factory loads the Rowland walks all over the 10, but it's not a "normal" loading. Bullet has a lot to do with it too, your buddy with the 10 was likely hitting those deer with basically .40 S&W hits!
