Thats a little misleading...The .30 is only pushing a 110gr bullet out of a conciderably long barrel in terms of ballistics and busting velocity...were most of the testing on a 45 acp is out of a 5" barrel with much much heavier bullets. If you would make a +P 185gr .45ACP bullet and shoot it out of a longer barrel like the m1 carbine has then i think you would be a little bit more impressed with your accuracy distance, velocity, and energy knock down.
