I learned something today.
Thanks Jim
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Humans have been pretty smart for a while now. 
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I have a box of .45acp ammo, dated about 1918 from memory. it's marked on the box about 650fps. I always kind of thought it was made for these revolvers rather than the auto.
i'm not gonna disturb it to run it through a chrony. How did they have any idea the velocity of rounds back then, lacking the technology? Note the bullet drop at various distances and speed of a projectile is easily determined...

Hi all! I just purchased my first Colt revolver. It is a refinished Model 1917 in 45 ACP. Shooting ACP from a revolver is also new. I have ordered some full moon clips but don’t have them yet. Plinking ammo will probably be whatever I can find inexpensively, but I am looking for advice on a general outdoors load. Freed from the need to feed in a semi auto what sort of cast bullets would you recommend? Is this gun safe for +p loads in your opinion?
Thanks! Starline has Auto Rim brass and I would buy 500 or find once fired brass. You could go the Moon route but eventually will return to auto rim brass for fun shooting. Cast bullets 225-250 grain and you are GTG.
