RESULTS - .45 Colt

Below you'll find the averaged results for this specific caliber.  Click on any given ammo header to pull up a graph for that ammo.  Where we have a "real world" pistol, that result is listed at the bottom of this chart, and that data point is included at the end of the graph for each ammo brand.  If you would like more detailed information (showing the actual data collected for each of the three shots, through both chronographs, for any combination of ammunition + caliber + barrel length) download the .pdf or Excel file.

One note:  in every case with the T/C Encore the length of the barrel was measured from the end of the barrel back to the breech face.  This is how semi-auto pistols are measured, but revolvers are measured as the length of the barrel in front of the cylinder gap.  Take this into consideration when comparing calibers using our numbers.
