I'm collecting my first 45 ACP pistol tomorrow (Colt 1911 Series 70 Reissue)! I've already bought various brands of JHP ammo to try out in it. I just bought what was readily available and now I'm wondering what characteristics these ammo selections may have. These are the types I bought (all are 230 grain):
The two Hornady rounds look identical and have identical energies. What are the differences?
The Fiocchi JHP's have a lot less energy than the other three rounds but are only about half the price. Any thoughts on their suitability for SD?
Any links to ballistic gelatine tests on any of the above?
Any other rounds that you would recommend to me?
Thanks!
