Choosing the Right .45 Caliber Bullets for Reloading

.45 caliber bullets for reloading have a diameter that falls between .451 and .458 inches, and, depending on the exact diameter, can fit a variety of handgun and rifle cartridges, including the .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .45-70, among others.

As for weight, .45 caliber bullets can greatly differ. Most commonly, you'll find .45 bullets weighing between 185 to 230 grains, but you can find lighter or heavier options out there too.

If you're looking for speed, lighter .45 bullets are your best bet. Their higher velocity delivers a flatter trajectory, while reduced recoil can be a significant advantage for shooters with smaller builds or those who engage in long shooting sessions where fatigue is a concern.

On the flip side, if power is what you're after, heavier .45 bullets are the way to go. These bullets pack more punch and offer superior stopping power, making them suitable for self-defense and hunting larger game. Plus, they tend to perform exceptionally well at closer ranges due to their slower velocity and increased mass.
