"Overpowered" based on KE, recoil? What?
A 180 gr. Gold Dot @ 1,225 fps from my Delta Elite has
about the same calculated & subjective recoil as a 185 Golden Saber +P @ 1,160 fps from a 45 acp 1911.
The 180 Gold Dot expands to about .75 -.80 and penetrates same depth in water filled gallon jugs as a 230 HST, so its not overpenetrative.
If overpenetration is a primary concern the 10mm Underwood 135 gr. solves that:
