Thanks for the clarification and additional info. I’m far from an expert, but could easily see it was a chambering a larger round…just didn’t realize it was that large.

Smaller caliber, lighter bullet at higher velocity. 7.62x25mm Tokarev = .311 caliber, 85-90 grain bullet at 1,300-1,700fps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%C3%9725mm_Tokarev
Versus a larger, heavier bullet at lower velocity. .45 ACP = .45 caliber, 230 grain bullet at about 850fps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.45_ACP
Different design philosophies.
