I too, suggest a SWC or LRN bullet at 230grns. Just my 2 cents, but I agree with the others above who think penetration is more important than expansion with a bullet that is nearly 1/2" in diameter to begin with.

If I were handgun hunting with a .45acp I'd be looking for a 230grn SWC or LRN moving out at +/-950fps.

And a BIG +1 to Lost River suggesting lots of practice so that you know what you can, and perhaps more importantly, can't do.
