I was out at the end of today checking a trail camera when I looked up and noticed a raccoon 60-70 yards away that did not see me. I was carrying my SIG P220 today with my own 230gr hollow points cast of 20:1. I do not know the exact pressure of the load, but it is likely +p, or close to it. Velocity is 920 fps. At the first shot, the raccoon looked hit, but ran for some brush. It made it a full 100 yards to a hollow log. I gave it one more shot.
To my surprise, my first shot was pretty good, but a little far back. It was certainly a fatal shot. Both bullets passed clean through, but the exits were nothing special. I've seen better results from my 327 federal. No doubt the 45 acp is a fine cartridge, but I may have to check that these bullets expand. These bullets have huge hollow points, and I was fairly sure I'd see expansion, but I expected a bigger hole. I got about a 1/2" exit hole, which is about what I'd expect from a 45 solid bullet.
