It depends on which form of handgun silhouette we are talking about. If the rams are only 100 yards out, no, there would be no advantage. If they are 200 yards (or meters) out, the increased distance, and weight of the targets, might indicate the heavier load. I have never shot handgun silhouette with the .45 Colt, but I'm willing to bet the lighter 270 grain load would be all you would need to knock even those over with authority.

I do plan to spend enough time to 'get used to' this spoon and so a box or two of the cowboy rounds will make sense. I wonder if this, and the Keith, are both available at Cabelas. I will of course shoot both to see how they fly relative to the sights, and to get comfortable with the recoil.
I do have a report to offer on the Vaquero, which is disappointing.

Disappointing? Ruh-roh - do tell.
Edit - never mind, I read your story on the other thread. Damn. Highly unusual for Ruger. I own more than a dozen of their firearms, and have never had an issue with any of them.
Availability of .45 Colt ammo can be a bit spotty at the local retail sporting goods stores. Cabela's might have plenty of the "cowboy" loads, but I would be surprised if they have any of the hotter stuff. Maybe...
