[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2611673, member: 87243"] I will second the hard cast with a large meplate. My dad has used his 18" .44 mag rifle and taken several deer and even an elk from 75 to 180 yards, so by that range, getting somewhat close to pistol velocities at close range. In his, he used a 290 grain hard cast flat point, we used plenty of lineotype in the bullets, they were hard. Going around 1700 fps at the muzzle. A 200-230 out of a 45 will be 1000-800 fps-ish respectively, and at close range will penetrate and do damage. The flat front of these hard cast cut clean holes and cause a good amount of trauma. My LT has used his glock m40 and shot a few pigs, goats and a couple gators with it, and he likes the 180 XTP in the 10mm. However with the glock barrel, he doesn't want to run the hard cast.
