thanks toby but ive alreasy read just about everytihng over at the sixgunner site, no to mention tha i drop by the forums there daily too. i just wanted to start this topic and see what we could produce. im still hoping someone can show us that 45colt case walls are thinner or they arent.
from my reading at sixgunner.com elsewhere the only reason that ive ever seen to say the 45colt is that the cylinders are weaker. and they are weaker (assuming no 5shots) is the larger diameter case takes up more room.
but due to the larger surface area on the base of the 45bullet more work can be done on the bullet and thus make up the difference (thats debatable).
im not looking to get reccomendations of which on to buy here. my solution is to get both. and a 41mag. i like to have a good variety.
