  Hey Guys,

I prefer the .40 S&W too as it is close enough to the .45 in knock down.

Your point is well made Belt. A .22 in the eye is going to get the job done while a 9mm in the shoulder ... more »

  What I actually use are Corbons. My 40 gets 165 grain. 1150fps and 485ft.lbs. So I guess it only scores a 10.9

The nine I dont even have any defensive ammo for at the moment only WWB fmj's

I ... more »

  I just used some random ballistics I found online. Bordem

I used a 200 grain Hornady for my test with the .40. I dont think they even make the 200 grain anymore but what the hell.

  What round are you using BB? I'm currently using 180gr Winchester Ranger T's and can't reach 1000 fps with it. Excellent ballistics with this stuff with the average 950fps it delivers.

  I kinda like my .40 still. Using your method my .40 S&W still rates a 12 and it delivers 490ft lbs at the muzzle while traveling over 1000fps.

or how about the .460 at 30!!! I'll ... more »

  Do the math on any caliber you like. You will be surprised at how poorly some rounds do compared to the .45acp.

  Gun Test Magazine came up with a interesting theory.

How many of you think that the 85 grain 7.62 x 25 Tokarev (511 ft/lbs energy delivered) is as good a round as the 230 grain .45 acp ... more »
