For 45 ACP ammo for a full size 1911, the purpose being bullseye shooting, how would these two compare: Winchester White Box 230 grain ammo, vs. Winchester 185 grain ammo?
I was in a discussion with some people, who said that while the 185 is a lighter bullet so one might think it is easier to shoot (recoil, etc.), it is a faster bullet, with even more energy, and there is no noticeable difference between the two.
I know with re-loaded target ammo, the "bang" is less, and the gun is easier to control for accuracy, but that's not one of the choices for someone who doesn't reload. Either of the above two is readily available for sale at Midway and elsewhere.
