Hi Long Path - ummm yeah. I am going to have to think about this. I do know that the 185's in several +P loads are hitting 1100 fps. Not sure what the - 1) impact velocity at 35 yards will be, 2) if the Gold Dots (as recommended) would hold up at 1100 fps.

I think that I will cut a 230 and a 185 .45 GD and see if I can measure jacket thickness..
