A .45 ACP on a deer? You sure it wasn't .45 LC? I've not seen too many .45 ACP deer rifles.The 45 is a devastating round. I have seen its effects on a deer at 60 yards. .451" size hole in one side 4" hole out the other side
+1Nice round,but I prefer the 44 mag.![]()
Hey Easy,A .45 ACP on a deer? You sure it wasn't .45 LC? I've not seen too many .45 ACP deer rifles.
I would imagine a big ol' 230 gr bullet coming out of a 17-inch barrel would pack quite a punch. To be honest, I had no idea there were so many makers of 45 ACP carbines. I very well may stand corrected.Hey Easy,
Back a couple years ago, I bought a HiPoint carbine in .45 acp, JUST TO SEE, what that handgun round could/would do out of a long barrel.
I promise you, that at 60 yds it would knock a deer down instantly.
It amazed me at the force the .45 acp has at that range.
That being said, it is one of my favorite rounds, but my favorite ALL AROUND round is .357 magnum.
