Re: What do you think of .45 acp as a Rifle / Carbine round?

I luv it :P Have a 18" T/C contender carbine in 45 auto. Factory loads pick up about 100fps, My load is a Lee 255 gr RFN boolit with 9.4grs of HS7, it chronos at 1050 FPS, it feels like big a 22. Think it would punch thru a small sapling at after breaking both shoulders of any size deer.
