Obsessed with the Flattop 45

Go back to Keiths's writings and up until the .44 Magnum he said if he had to use factory loads he would use a .45 Colt. The original 250 gr RNFP a at 900 or so was a known penetrator. Up the weight and sectional density, improve the bullet shape , and then add a little more velocity and you have a better load all around. A 290 SWC at 1000 or so will penetrate a long way.
