Veterans Reloading

Both calibers are substantially different from each other and both are exceptional when used for their intended purpose. I’ve always been partial to the .45 since I was trained on it in Army AIT, but when the 10mm came out I just had to try it out. It’s an amazing caliber with great stopping power but where the 10mm has great stopping power at longer distances than the 45. I figure if I have to shoot something I want a weapon that makes a hole big enough to drive a truck through. There are lots of pipe hitters on here with greater experience and knowledge than I and would love to hear their thoughts.

When i first joined the Army in ‘83 we were still carrying the old Colt .45 that was tried and true through several wars, still a huge fan of it for sheer power. Then came the Baretta 9 mm, ugh!!! My son has 21 years in the Navy and they swear by the 10mm, and of course we kid each other about which is best (Army vs Navy) I guess the Navy didnt want something that would poke a hole in their precious hulls where as us old grunts want to make a hole big enough to drive a M1 Abrams through.

I prefer a mix...45 acp shooting a 40 cal bullet. In a 1911. Try out a 400 CorBon...
