Title: .45 Auto ballistic tset.

Tried out some popular .45 Auto loads over the chronograph and through the ballistic gel. I would love your thoughts on this.

Very nice write up and testing!  The 45ACP is a great cartridge and there are some great bullets to make use of the potential.
When I carry my G-30 it is stoked with the Rem 185 GS, for target play I shoot my cast Lyman 185 gr Devastator HP.

Hunter very well done.

Mas and many PDs use the Ranger and or the Speer and the actual data from shootings support your findings.

In my Glock model 21 I stoke it with the Speer.

In my Springfeild Micro the same load only because Imuave it I may rethink that and go with a short barrel specific round. But these days I carry mostly the Glock.

Thank you both for the kind words.
I enjoy these experiments and I have about a several other calibers slated for testing.
