    (Wasn't sure where to put this as it includes handgun and rifle ammow. Somehow the site doesn't have an ammo forum.)

    This is a write up of the various different kinds of .45 caliber ammunition (The Lord's caliber) that have been used over the years

    Very interesting read, and with pictures of each one!

    Some if these were news to me
