Are you reading this on January 23rd? Then you’re probably already aware of this, but today is John M. Browning’s birthday! And what better way could there be to honor an American legend than by ordering one of his greatest creations?
45 Automatic (aka 45 ACP). Winchester loads it the same way Mr. Browning intended it to be: with 230 grain full metal jackets that cruise out of a 5” barrel at 835 fps muzzle velocity. Those are regular old American-made FMJs which do not contain steel, and which have true (i.e. nonplated) copper jackets that don’t do anything dangerous while they’re gliding against a ported compensator (or barrel). What more could you ask for when you’re sending a message to bullseyes, silhouettes, and other things that commonly appear at gun ranges?
Just like the land it’s loaded in, this ammo was made for you and me. And it’s reloadable. And if your own barrel is 5” long, then you can expect ballistic performance that looks something like this:
0yds: 835 fps | 356 ft lbs
5yds: 831 fps | 353 ft lbs
25yds: 817 fps | 341 ft lbs

Just how low is this Rio 12 Gauge shotgun shell’s recoil, really? Let’s calculate it assuming its nine pieces of lead 00 buck weigh 1-1/8 ounces, its powder weighs 25 grains, its wad weighs 35 grains, and the shotgun weighs 7 pounds. Given those parameters, its recoil energy equals 25.5 ft lbs.
Now, let’s provide some context. If we keep all other variables constant but increase muzzle velocity to a more conventional 1,325 fps, recoil energy would equal 30.2 ft lbs. In other words, Rio’s low-recoil shell produces around 16% less kick than a peppier alternative.
Naturally, such a shell hits softer. It doesn’t smack its target as hard, or penetrate it as deeply. But it does shoot more comfortably, and also prevents the barrel from flipping as high upward as a more powerful shell would have done. And once you appreciate that this “less energetic” shell’s shot column still breaks out of the muzzle with over 1,500 ft lbs combined striking energy – which is a good deal more than sufficient for deer hunting – you’ll see that it’s more than capable of defending the homestead as well.
