The Buffalo Bore top end 45colt "Ruger Only" loads tend to ride the 1,200ft.lbs. mark pretty strictly. The 260grn Deer Grenade spec's 1500fps at 260grn, just under 1300fps,
It's a great cartridge, but an 1800ft.lbs. cartridge, it aint!!!!

Maybe I am reading it wrong
It does say (1,450 fps/M.E. 1,214 ft. lbs) at the top maybe I'm misunderstanding what the charts are? this is definitely not my area of expertise.
Edit: it looks like I was reading the wrong info there maybe and 1450 fps/M.E. 1,214 ft Lbs are the numbers my apologies
Still plenty for deer but I think I did misread the info.
I'm still a little confused by there information there. It says at the top of the chart "trajectory for .452 dia heavy colt .45 +p 260 GR J.H.P. BBA JHP at 1800 Feet per second.
