[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2666956, member: 15054"] So talking with many people over a few years I hear that the 45acp will tumble if you get it out far enough. This is usually told to me ..and 100 yards it will tumble. I shoot SWC 200gr lee tumble lube bullets. I have found if I push them fast they will tumble at less than 10 feet.. Once I got in the sweet spot of the gun and bullet the tumble is a non issue. We were shooting rifles at a 4'X2' piece of sheetrock on an old dead oak tree at 211 yard away. I grabbed my Hi-Point 45acp pistol that really impresses me at longer ranges for a cheap gun. couple buddies there and they stated you can't hit that at this range. I shoot it and about 1 second later.... thud it hits the tree. Not real accurate at that range but the 10 shots I took at the tree and sheetrock I missed the Thud of the tree 3 times and stuck 3 rounds into that sheetrock. What I was impressed with is that the holes in the sheetrock from the 45acp were perfectly round,, No keyhole no tumble. Have any of you guys noticed any keyhole at longer ranges with your pistols. I know my 357 mag does not tumble at all, but that is a longer bullet,, and the .45-200gr is a stubby bullet. Not that many of you shoot the trench gun at long ranges :) [/QUOTE]
