Killed a couple dozen hogs and a few deer with a 1911 45acp with ball ammo. Actually never had anything NOT drop with it... no shots were more than 40 yards though...
230 ball? That's surprising.
My understanding is that 230 grain ball is under estimated a lot in this regard. Apparently, it tends to deform and tumble inside the body pretty easily. That lead inside the copper is soft. If it hits any bone, it's deforming and tumbling.
