It's not that I gave it no merit, but not substantial, just like the difference in sectional densities (.155 for the .429 to .161 for the .452).

That's why they are "near ballistic twins" and not "identical ballistic twins".

The 3" .45ACP (mine) clocked about 785 on average. At 785, the .45ACP 230 hits with about 315 ft.lbs. The .44 at 820 hits with about 300 ft.lbs.

There ain't gonna be a whole lot of difference known by anything that gets hit with either as to whether there was 15 ft.lbs., or .023" difference one way or another.
