I’m not sure these will feed in a 1911 and, I’m pretty sure I’d beat the snot out of one without a recoil spring change. That’s one reason for putting them into AutoRim cases.Now that's interesting. I've been going down a rabbit trail lately trying to do some penetration testing with hard cast .45 ACP +P compared to .44 Magnum out of a short barrel. I'm curious just how much performance I could get out of my P220 Compact as a woods gun compared to my snubby Model 69. I know the short barrel has to be hurting the performance of the .44...I'm curious just how much difference there is between that and a heavy hard-cast .45 ACP +P at the target.
What have you done with the 230gr bullets to this point?
