Below is a link to .45 auto bullets that I have never seen before. They're inexpensive and are jacketed, copper ithink. I bought some and they measure .452"
Because of the profile and how .45 auto headspaces on the case mouth I'm not sure how deep these bullets should be seated. Has anyone here loaded these bullets? How do you load them. Is .452" to big for .45 auto and to be fired from 1911's? http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100000343&dir=278|281|1082|1150 Thanks For Your Time... VonBarky |

This may not be technically correct but I load all auto loading bullets just shy of the ojive, maybe by about .005 to .010. There should be no gap between the case mouth when the bullet is seated in the case and the flare removed " I didn't say crimped" but only removed and the flat side of the projectile should continue forward for a short distance of roughly .005 to .010. That what works for me anyhow and my ammo is most reliable in feeding.
As far as a crimp is concerned and as most people on here will tell you auto loading bullets are not crimped at the mouth though in removing the flare you may impinge the mouth into the bullet. Some factory may be crimped on the base of the bullet too to alleviate the possibility of bullet set back, though I know of no handloader who does this. |

They will work. |

Personally I would go with Precision Delta's 230gr FMJ instead.
For a little more, you get a reliable source of standard 230gr ball bullets made in the US. |

VonBarky I cannot get a pic up here so please go to the link to take a look at these unusual looking .45 auto jacketed SWC bullets. Last week I loaded 57 of them useing once fired Federal cases with the small pistol primers. Some were charged with 7.2gr. of Unique and some charged with 7.8gr. Unique ie Speer #14 manual. Overall length were long, 1.235" to 1.243" . All were fired thru a Taurus, PT1911 useing Kimber ProMag magazines with no stoppages. As far as accuracy they were at least as accuate as I can shoot. I did my best from a rest out to 10 and 15 yards and they shot as good as any rounds I load. Whats weird is the bullet profile. In order to seat these bullets deep enuf to acheive 1.210" COAL the case mouth would be at the narrow section of the bullet, know what i mean? Maybe I'm missing something here, doing something wrong? 1000 of these IMI bullets from Wideners were $107. Any comments? VonBarky |
