Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters JB; came across your article on the 45 Colt

If meplat is the only thing that matters then feel free to explain how a 230 grain fmj is able to leave a full caliber hole through an antelope. I know this because I have seen it done. You can't prove otherwise,because that is what it does and there is no flat meplat.
If meplat is all that matters which the 80% of diameter, meplat of a 45 is .362". 80% meplat of .429 is .343" 45 wins!

Less pressure at the same ballistic pressure means less noise and muzzle blast, something many notice including myself

You are the one that needs to prove your point
