💥45Super vs 10MM: Chronographed and Clear Ballistics Gel💥

Dean was one of my favorite writers. I have his "Book of the 45". I also had a 25 TCU barrel for my Contender because of Dean. Only a handful of writers ever inspired the way your Dad did. Cheers!

That was some pretty good grouping on the paper. I never fired a 45 supper. I have a 10mm Glock 40 and I load my own +P+ ammo because most factory loads are way under loaded the only factory loads I mess with is buffalo bore and some underwood. Great video I love 9mm but it's good to see the larger calibers and someone who loads their own 10mm.

[@404nitro]

I still have several magazines in my collection (actually, quite a few) with your dad's articles. I believe I have them to include the time frame he was writing about developing this round. I converted my 4506 S&W to 45 Super and it is my everyday CPL carry gun

I'm compelled to thank you for a fine video. My Ruger sr1911 wears a triple chamber comp, one piece rod, 22lb.differential flat wire springs, flat based firing pin stop plate, and 28lb. mainspring. It gets a steady diet of Buffalo Bore 185 .45 Super. I was surprised to hear you mention the flat based firing pin stop plate, most don't. I'm like you, .45 Super is an inordinate amount of fun.

[@Dayattherange]

Nice setup Dwayne. Who am I to say or judge those that don't go with a flat based firing pin stop. What I would say definitively is the two creators of 45Super just about mandated the flat based stop for a 1911 after all their testing. The one thing I did not mention which was considered a trial and error therefor not mandatory was a 5% increase in magazine spring pressure. This allows for the magazine to keep up with the increased velocity of the slide, though through the other modifications if successful you don't need magazine springs. Today you don't hear many speaking about timings of the 1911 but it is like a Swiss watch and often today because few understand it many consider the platform a pain when the majority of the time it can be related to timing. OK I am preaching now lol Dwayne thanks for stopping by hope you subscribed more 1911 content on the way.

[@desertdan100]

@@Dayattherange I have a Springfield Armory 1911 A1with a slightly heavier factory recoil spring. I ordered it through the mail from the factory and picked it up in a local Coast to Coast store. I live in the Boonies in the Midwest and they were the closest FFL. It was set up to run plus P 45ACP ammo. I found out that it does not like a lot of the newer over the counter Ammo because many have de-rated the ammo. I now have to stick to 230 grn rounds in only a couple manufacturers. It seems to like CCI Blazer rounds. Are the CCI copper cases good enough to reload or should I just junk them? Do you like power piston powder for reloading or are you partial to another brand? I used to have a magic load for my Springfield but they quit making the Powder. US Army Vet myself. Went into Boot Camp in 1986. We were the group that they were forcing to adopt the 9mm M9. They were still changing over. I got a 1911 Colt to qualify with and then the Bastards took it and gave me an M9. Later some of us in certain groups were allowed to carry our 45's again. Then things changed again with the Glocks. I never understood why they just didn't go back to the 45 ACP in a glock. After all a handgun is just used to fight your way back to your rifle. You don't go into combat as your handgun being your primary weapon. Everyone has their favorite platform and everyone has their favorite Caliber. 😉

Interesting video. IMO you need to remove the plastic from the gell blocks. Put clean linen down then set the block down tokeep them clean but trying to look through the wrinkles pretty much ruined the ability to see the expanded slugs at their point of rest.

Plastic was only on the bottom the wrinkles come from how they were shipped in the plastic. If I had known they were like that I would have taken a heat gun to them as a common technique to smooth them out after remelting. The pictures weight and expansion will go up at www.dayattherange.com

Very entertaining and informative video, I'm a fan of both calibers. New sub and Semper Fi!

[@seanwoodburn2616]

Nice shooting! I have shot both calibers pretty extensively, all in 5 inch barrels. I have one of the guns that Ace built and another that I built using one of the conversion kits that Ace and his son Garey used to sell. Garey unfortunately retired and I may have bought the last of those kits...I have three left. My 10mm was a Colt Delta Elite. The Starline brass is superb by the way. We started out by forming from 308 Winchester brass which works pretty well but consistency and case life of the Starline brass is better. From a serious handgun hunters perspective I can tell you that, unless you are hunting really large muleys, the two calibers are interchangeable on deer. Hogs and bear are a different story. The Super is the way to go. The biggest challenge is in picking the right bullet. Every 230g hollow point I tried gave about the same result you got or less in terms of penetration. They open too fast but leave a huge wound cavity. 12- 16 inches is fine on deer but the 185g routinely out performed the 230g. Your observation about the rapid expansion of the 185g was spot on. Try the Barnes 185g. TAC-XP and you will get better penetration. The game changer for bigger. tougher and heavy boned game is the 255g hard cast. If you test that one, I promise that you will need another block of gel. Perhaps two. On broadside shots on hogs, I never get the bullet back. Same with quartering shots on black bear. I like to keep things simple. I load 185g and 255g. I sold the 10mm by the way. With the right bullet, the Super just out runs it. Great content here. Liked and subbed. Cheers!

Excellent test my Devil Dog brother. Some serious speeds developed there.

[@Dennisthemenace40]

Great comparison of the two calibers. The tip you threw out concerning the firing pin stop plate was good but was under emphasized, in my opinion. That mod is one of the keys to properly tune a 1911 for high power loads. One more change should be the mainspring. Increasing that spring rate to 25-28 Lbs along with the flat bottom FPSP really helps keep the slide velocity down, much more than a heavy recoil spring which may cause the slide to cycle fast enough to outrun the magazine. I run a 28 lb mainspring and can’t tell the difference in trigger pull from the original spring on my Kimber.

[@chrisjones469]

As I learned from my study of mathematics and physics, we can imagine where concepts trend by taking them to their extremes. Imagine a spit wad in a cartridge case instead of a bullet. It would basically develop the velocity equivalent to the propellant's maximum, but what do we think would happen to penetration? The same principle applies to bullets with a lower sectional density, e.g. lighter bullets by caliber. I'm curious about how much gel a 230 grain XTP moving at 1400 fps would penetrate. Can the bullet retain enough mass to get 16 inches +? If so, that might be my new hunting load. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

You can argue that 45 cal projectiles need to be re engineered for the added velocity in 45 super. They look like they actually over expand in some cases. The added velocity causes them to expand to disks a little too soon

[@dkindig]

That is Underwood's fault. I saw another test using this ammunition and it did the same thing (Military Armaments Channel). Looks like they're using projectiles designed for ACP velocities and they're pancaking almost on impact and only getting 5"-7" of penetration.

XTP is really tough ALL of them no matter the caliber is what I have come to find out

I bet this guy is a easy dude to kick it with.. he just has such a likeable demeanor

[@robertmakowski7808]

Nicely done!!! I have one of the PARA Hunters and it is a great gun...also have a Kimber Stainless Target II in .45 Super... I'm also wondering how many fps loss you are getting with the ports in the Super...

If you want to do a comparison video pit the 40 Super vs 10 mm with underwood ammo. As far as case pressures 40 Super is limited to 37,000 psi. The 45 Super does not get to even play in 40 Super ballpark, energies can reach just under 1,000 ft.lbs for muzzle energy for 135gr light loads or with 220gr hard cast the 40 Super still thumps with 890 ft.lbs. Check out the Wikipedia page for 40 Super have a barrel made by KKM or Bar-Sto with a fully supported chamber get a 24 lb recoil spring and have some fun.

Would love to see a 10mm vs 40 Super with heavy cast bullets….just picked up a 40 Super barrel from BarSto

@@tyemiller6204 40 Super is one hell of a cartridge. Handloading you are going to get the most out of the 40 Super as there are lots of bullet selections from light 135gr self defense projectiles all the way to the heaviest hard cast lead for Alaskan Brown Bear protection. Starline has brass for the 40 Super. A word of caution this round does not like double stack Glock magazines unless they have a certain older style follower, the rounds nosedive and then there is a failure to feed, this info is available online(see link below). Single stack Glock mags do not have this issue if you are using this round in a carry gun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYHGqmqNYp6NmcUsi=qJk0B0f0ukzlkYgW
