IMO Speer would be smart to offer 2 versions of the 250gr. One with the deep hp for "defense" and the 45colt loads. Make the other for use in 460S&W or magnum type speeds with a shallower hp. They offer the same thing in "short barrel" versions of the 40cal and the lighter 45ACPs for the semi autos. The "short barrel" versions have a deeper hp.

Leave the 300gr just as it is.

Both are great bullets but i really like how well the 300gr handles any fps at time of impact. The 250gr IMO can over expand at very high speeds but still does a very good job, i just think it could do better. It is my recommended youth load bullet. My friends son loves it with only 80gr and it shoots fantastic. I have no doubt that load would work out to 125 yards or more and perform as advertised.

Now i really want to try the Speer 458 350gr for 45/70s. It has a nice BC/SD and should be great in the 52x458 sabot in the LRH.
