The 200 grain .45 Rimless Smokeless was for the 1905 Colt auto.
The Army insisted on 230 grains as being as close as the auto would get to the 250 grain bullets of the 1873, 1875, and 1909 revolver rounds.

Not that a civilian is easier to kill than a soldier but because a horse is bigger than a man.
