[QUOTE="BigNate, post: 2826685, member: 301"] This is a common idea being shared around the internet, but rarely do people actually try to learn for themselves what level of performance can be achieved. The standard 45acp ammo is loaded for 100 year old pistols. The same people touting the 45-70 for bear defense are not suggesting using 100+ year old performance level ammo for said bear protection. The same considerations are made for shotguns as well, and many other cartridges for that matter. The previously posted video is just one example of modern ammo, in modern pistols. The 45acp loaded to modern pressures is on par with the 10mm, if not exceeding it, and just barely behind the 460 Rowland. Deep penetration is not what people argue about. So if a 40 caliber bullet penetrates the same depth as a 45 caliber, both with the same type bullet, which is better? It's very important to choose ammo carefully when it comes to bear defense in whatever instrument you choose. [/QUOTE]
