Some of you may have seen a recent Revolver thread that was "scrubbed clean", in which it was being debated as to whether the .45 ACP could be loaded with a .45-270 SAA bullet (270gr SWC) to the same COAL and to the same 1050 - 1100fps velocity as the .45 Colt. Now, without any "rudeness" on my part, I would like to provide photographic proof that the .45 ACP cannot be loaded with this bullet to the same COAL (see below) as the .45 Colt (1.645"), but that aside, does anyone seriously believe that the .45 ACP in a revolver can attain the above velocity with a bullet that heavy? I get that velocity using 18.0gr of 2400 powder out of my S&W 25-5.
