Ok, while I do not claim to have knowledge that Chuck lacks, my bull meter definitely saw some movement just now.
A 45acp 230gr FMJ will zip right through a 150lb deer LENGTHWISE. I know this because I fired that bullet. From chest to tail a deer sure looks a lot thicker than a man.
I also know that a 230gr fmj will penetrate multiple layers of glass and drywall, an 8ft long rack of clothes and a 2" thick oak waterbed frame. :oops:
I will not be convinced that the 230gr fmj is better than a jhp for soft targets, no matter what Chuck writes.
