How do you figure? The link I posted doesn't do justice to the tests, first hand reports. The cadavers were shot to also find out the ability to break bone and larger diameter projectiles are more likely to break bone rather than simply shooting a hole through the bone.
Well for one thing, it's from 1904.
For another, it plainly stated the results of shooting living cows were all over the map, but they all just sorta decided the 45 seemed to work the best.
Lastly, it seems centered around one aspect of cartridge selection. As opposed to the totality of all circumstances surrounding what law enforcement personnel should weigh when selecting a cartridge.

As I posted the article doesn't do the testing justice. Nothing has shrunk or increased since then. Loads are faster and better today for all caliber so not just some.
