In the 45 I would also use LSWC or JHPs. I have watched lead round nose bullets glance off the hard skin of the pins. Once a .38 158 went up the neck and back hitting the shooter right on the tip of the nose...he didn't miss a beat and set his personal best time right then. it bloodied him some but he was ok.
