.45 ACP revolver ammo question

[bob68]

i use the cases in both my auto and revolver. i also use the full moon clips and a few half moon clips also. the full moon clips reload faster and when unloading the clips they keep the shells all in one spot. i only have one box of the auto rims so i dont use them that often as i dont usually see them around very much.

.451 is the correct bullet diameter for .45 ACP; lead bullets for that caliber will, of course, be slightly larger (.452). Do not use .45 Colt bullets, which are .454.

Pre WWII .45 Colts were .454 but I believe the post war guns were made with a .451 bore diameter.
