Until I saw Silverton Boar Dogs reply I thought I was the only one carrying a .45 Colt. I generally use 250-270gr cast lead and have had good results but must try the FTX since it should be less apt to pass through. My hand loads are only < 900fps but have done the job every time I got into a tight spot and like the feel of the Colt clone in my hand. Low recoil and accurate. The highest powered round made is not magic and will only piss of an animal if you can not put the round where it does the best good. In other words if you don't practice regularly don't count on any specific caliber to work.     John
