I tend to agree. But won’t a quality FMJ of the same bullet weight at the same velocity penetrate just as deep?

A 45 ACP or really any standard auto cartridge loaded with hard cast, will penetrate any living creature in the lower 48... or more.. reference dude who shot and killed an attacking griz with his 9mm in Alaska a couple years ago.

Possibly but fmj rn don't usually penatrate as strait and even fn fmj tend to have smaller metplates so damage is less. I've also seen fmjs become deformed which hinders penatration.

I've carried American eagle 147gr fmj-fn as an East coast woods load. I've killed a few deer with it too. It's ok.

The difference between 9mm loads, to include gold dots/hst and even a mid range .45 Colt is night and day. A 250gr swc at 1100fps +/- a few is a much better killer.
