Just a quick note, it wasn't Doolittle, but Billy Mitchell who was a strong proponent of air power. He also predicted the attack on Pearl Harbor... Now back to your original thread subject...
Not to disparge Doolittle, he lead the famous air attack on Tokyo off of the Hornet...
Second interuption over, now back to the thread...
I heard that the 230 gr came from John Moses Browning filing/grinding down a 45 colt round and 230 just happened to be the weight when he stopped. But I don't know if that story is real, but it is interesting.
