Ref. the 845 post, and what I noticed about the 230 grain fmj blazers Id fired:
Here's a pair of slugs from some old Army-issue .45 230 fmj from about 15 yrs or so ago, that I still had around..
Note the coloration, and the thickness of the jacket...deformation was from having been fired into a tree.
One of the Blazer slugs from yesterday...
and side-by-side
In the hand, the Blazer slugs are lighter-feeling, and softer. easy to dent/flatten
The old Army ball rounds- feel heavier in the hand, more solid,somehow...
Not sure one is better/worse than the other. just an odd observation
