Allstar/Magnus Bullets .45 ACP .452" 200 gr SWC 500/Box
If you reload .45 ACP for your 1911, competition pistol, or defensive handgun, Magnus cast bullets offer a proven, economical alternative to full-metal-jacket or jacketed rounds. These .452" 200-grain semi-wadcutter bullets are purpose-built for handloaders who want consistent, affordable ammunition without compromising on performance. The 500-round box gives you enough volume to load for serious range sessions or practice without breaking the bank.
Magnus manufactures these bullets from a proprietary lead alloy blend designed to balance hardness with reliability. The specific composition allows you to push these rounds to practical velocities in most .45 ACP platforms while resisting the leading and fouling that can plague softer cast projectiles. Semi-wadcutter geometry delivers a flat nose profile, making these bullets suitable for target work and training where controlled, predictable performance matters.
Handloaders appreciate cast bullets for the cost savings and the control they get over their loads. Whether you're working up loads for accuracy testing, developing a carry round, or simply stocking up for frequent range trips, Magnus bullets are a reliable foundation for your .45 ACP reloading routine. Each box contains 500 bullets, so you can load multiple rounds without frequent reorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cast and jacketed .45 ACP bullets?
Cast bullets are pure lead or lead alloy with no copper jacket. They're less expensive per round, which makes them ideal for training and high-volume reloading. Jacketed bullets have a harder copper exterior and are often preferred for carry ammunition and steel-target shooting where jacket integrity matters. Magnus cast bullets are suitable for most range and target work in standard handguns.
Will these cast bullets cause leading in my .45 ACP?
Magnus uses a hardened lead alloy specifically formulated to minimize leading at normal .45 ACP velocities. However, leading can occur in any pistol depending on barrel condition, velocity, and how hard you push the load. Keeping your barrel clean and not exceeding manufacturer velocity guidelines will help prevent buildup.
Are these bullets suitable for semi-wadcutter target loads?
Yes. The semi-wadcutter (SWC) profile is a classic target and training shape that cuts clean holes in paper for easy scoring. This makes them a popular choice for reloaders developing practice loads for their .45 ACP.
How many rounds will one box load?
The box contains 500 bullets, so you can load 500 complete .45 ACP rounds, assuming you have primers, powder, and brass cases to match.
