.45 Caliber Cast Lead Round Nose Pistol Bullets – RN Profile – SS45230RN – UPC 421000303357
Feed your .45 smoothly and shoot more for less. These .45 caliber cast lead round nose (RN) pistol bullets deliver the classic profile that has proven reliable for generations in .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, .45 Colt and other .45-caliber handguns with .452" groove diameters (throat fit dependent). The SS45230RN part number denotes a nominal 230-grain RN design—ideal for replicating traditional ballistics, refining fundamentals, and building cost-effective practice loads.
Why round nose? The RN ogive feeds smoothly in a wide range of .45 platforms, making it a natural choice for dependable cycling, consistent seating depth, and straightforward load development.
Key Benefits
Proven reliability: RN (round nose) profile mimics classic .45 ball ammo geometry for smooth feeding in properly tuned pistols.
Cost-effective practice: Cast lead construction helps you stretch your training budget without sacrificing accuracy.
Great for fundamentals: Manageable recoil and consistent point of impact make these bullets perfect for drills, classes, and match prep.
Versatile across .45s: Suitable for .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .45 Auto Rim when sized to .452" and matched to correct throats/bores.
Repeatable seating: Defined cannelure/ogive geometry (RN) supports uniform COAL and confident crimping where appropriate.
Ideal Use Cases
High-volume range sessions: Load in bulk for repetitions that build sight alignment, trigger control, and follow-through.
Steel & practice matches: Reliable cycling with the classic .45 feel; tune power factor per your rule set.
Training & instruction: Lower component cost encourages more reps for new and returning shooters.
Replica/retro loads: Recreate traditional 230-gr RN ballistics for POA/POI familiarity.

Loading Notes (Read First)
Use trusted data: Follow published load data from reputable manuals/powder manufacturers for 230-gr cast lead .45 bullets.
Size matters: Confirm your barrel/throat dimensions; many .45 ACP/.45 Colt barrels prefer .452" bullets for best accuracy and minimal leading.
Alloy & velocity: For cast lead, match velocity/pressure to bullet hardness and proper lube/coating to reduce leading.
COAL & crimp: Set cartridge overall length to ensure case mouth headspaces correctly (especially in .45 ACP). Apply a taper crimp as required for reliable chambering; roll crimp for revolver cartridges when appropriate.
Function test: Start low, verify feeding and ejection, then ladder up within published limits to your target velocity or power factor.
On-Target Performance You’ll Notice
Consistent accuracy: Uniform RN geometry supports predictable grouping at common pistol distances.
Classic recoil impulse: A 230-gr projectile provides the traditional .45 push—useful for match prep and POA/POI familiarity.
Clean cycling: Properly sized and loaded RN bullets feed smoothly through tuned magazines and throats.
Safety & Compliance
Component only: These are bullets for reloading, not complete cartridges.
Follow the data: Never exceed published maximums. Work up carefully, watching for pressure signs.
Check fit: Plunk-test semi-auto rounds; verify cylinder gap and throat fit for revolvers.
Protective gear: Wear eye protection and follow safe reloading practices. Keep components away from children and pets.
Lead handling: Wash hands after handling cast lead. Avoid ingesting dust or fumes.
