f all other factors are equal, the projectile with the greatest amount of sectional density will penetrate the deepest.
Before anybody types anything, let's PLEASE try to keep on track here. Let's try not to throw up the ol' "well...why in the hell do you want a .45 G.A.P. for anyways? What's it got that any other caliber ain't got?" question along with any and all GAP bashing, m'kay?
As some of you may or may not know, I just recently ordered a Glock 37 in OD green, brand new in the box, from Bud's for $379 SHIPPED.
Over the weekend, I picked up five 50 round boxes of Speer Lawman 200gr shoot 'em up ammo (yes, 250 rounds) for $17 a box. Needless to say, I bought it all...$85 OTD.
Now I need to decide what carry ammo I am gonna feed this thing.
I have my heart set on two different loads, but I can't decide if I want slower and heavier or lighter and faster.
The two loads in question are...
The Federal 230gr Hydra-Shok. This load is a heavy hitter and a classic mainstay for many shooters. At 880fps from the muzzle and 395 foot pounds of energy, it looks like a winner.
However...
The Winchester 185gr Silvertip is an impressive little round as well. It brings to the table a whopping 1000fps from the muzzle along with a hard hitting 427 foot pounds of energy.
So. I'm kinda leaning towards the Silvertips.
What say you?
