[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3079929, member: 75451"] Another point that perhaps should be considered: * using a .454 dia. bullet vs a .401 …..The .454 has a 12% larger surface area. * using a weight of let's say 310 grains @ 1200 mv in a 45LC (a bullet favored by John Linebaugh )…..yes in the anemic 45LC, for use on large and or dangerous game (easy exiting buffalo in field tests) vs the 220 grain favored by many in the 10 mm - the 45 bullet offers 29% greater bullet weight. This will equate to much deeper penetration for the 45. * And for you "ft/lbs energy" folks: the 45LC with 310 has 990 vs the 10 mm with 705…..which equates to 29% greater energy for the 45 LC. None of this accounts for the additional penetration given by the 45 …..which can hit/damage/destroy more bones/organs in that longer bullet travel path! Granted, these are figures for a "custom" 45 LC revolver…..but, just think what a factory produced .454 Casull or a 480 Ruger has to offer vs the 10mm. Add to this the greater reliability of the revolver in a contact situation could also factor into the comparison. **** Please check my math, as I may have messed-up…..but, I think they're correct! memtb Yes…..I’m stubborn and can’t be fixed! 😉 [/QUOTE]
