I use the 200 SWC with good results. Back when I was casting I had a mold for a bullet designed for the 45 Auto Rim (I think it was 225 gr) that works well too.

@ 7 to 10 yards i dont think it matters. For longer range, get a lswc. The Lyman #452423 at 238gr.(if you can find one) , with the longer bearing surface will align straighter in the long cylinder throat, producing better accuracy. Alliant Unique 5.0gr to 6.8 max. 45 acp Revolver.

My blackhawk likes the RCBS 270 SAA pretty good cast with straight clip on wheel weights.
(ETA Whoops. Just noticed you were looking for ACP bullets. You'll want something that will allow you to head space off a taper crimp on your brass with the blackhawk acp cylinder.) |

A 200 gr SWC or FPRN is what you want.
And you don't need a gas check design. |

It might have just been the brand of bullet I was using (and I forget what brand. Something I picked up years ago), but the 230 gr. RN shot the worst for me in both cylinders. I had some 195 gr. LSWC from a local caster that had worked well in the ACP cylinder. And the 250 gr. XTP gave the best results in the .45 Colt cases.
All shots were fired through a 4-5/8" Blackhawk at 25 yds.

I would look at the 225 TC design like this
