I agree completely with that, 8X. If you can't do it with a heavy bullet at 1000 fps, put down the revolver and pick up a rifle.

BTW, as I've said before, you can load the 45 Colt with 6 to 7 grains of ANY powder between Bullseye and Unique and have a good mild load. My personal favorites are either 6.0 of Nitro 100 or 7.0 of W231. I load those with either a 230 RNL meant for the 45 ACP, lightly crimped over the start of the ogive, or with a 255 SWCL designed for the 45 Colt. Haven't put a jacketed bullet through either of my revolvers for 20 years.
