![]() ![]() When tested on Harrell’s “patented meat target,” expansion was markedly worse. And when he repeats the test at longer range, we find the same result: Great hollowpoint expansion, which would likely result in effective game-stopping. ![]() Whether you agree it’s sad or not, you probably agree that testing expansion is a good idea… and that’s what he does next.Īnd I think we can all agree that expansion was perfectly satisfactory. Essentially, this costly defense ammo moves more slowly than two out of the three hardball (FMJ) loads that he tested earlier. We begin by comparing three run-of-the-mill 45 hardball loads over the chronograph… then we move along to a high-falutin’ Remington HTP (High Terminal Performance) load, which is a jacketed hollowpoint - and, naturally, costs a good bit more.īack to the chrony, we find that the super-duper ammo produces velocities that are… disappointing. Specifically, is the 45 ACP actually up to the task - and if so, what sort of ammo will work best? So you think the 45 ACP is a good choice for defense against large animals? Well, that’s exactly what Paul Harrell takes a look at in this video.
