Allstar/Magnus Swaged Lead Bullets .45 cal .452" 185 gr SWCHP 500/ct

Magnus Bullet swaged lead rounds in .45 caliber give handloaders a reliable, economical option for practice, target shooting, and general plinking. These .452" 185-grain semi-wadcutter hollow point bullets ship 500 per box, making them a sensible choice for shooters who reload volume and want consistent results without breaking the bank. The alloy formula—91% lead, 4% tin, and 5% antimony—is engineered to stay hard enough for velocities up to 1200 feet per second while resisting leading buildup in most barrels, a real advantage if you shoot regularly through the same gun.

Whether you're working up loads for a 1911, revolver, or other .45 ACP platform, these bullets perform well at moderate speeds where jacketed rounds might seem wasteful. The semi-wadcutter hollow point profile cuts clean holes at close range and offers a touch more expansion potential than a round nose, making it a versatile choice for casual shooters who care about trajectory and target feedback. The swaging process produces uniform bullets that chamber smoothly and group predictably downrange.

The alloy blend also won't shatter or fragment when you tag steel targets, so you can reload and shoot without worrying about dangerous ricochets or cleanup. For anyone establishing a .45 reloading routine or supplementing factory ammunition with handloads, Magnus bullets deliver the consistency and economy that make frequent range trips affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these Magnus bullets in my .45 ACP handgun?

Yes. The .452" diameter and 185-grain weight are standard for .45 ACP. These swaged lead bullets work in most .45 ACP handguns, including 1911s, striker-fired platforms, and revolvers chambered in .45 ACP.

Will these bullets lead up my barrel?

The alloy formula is designed to stay hard enough to resist leading at velocities up to 1200 feet per second in most barrels. Leading can still occur depending on your gun's bore condition and your specific load, but Magnus bullets are formulated to minimize the problem compared to softer cast rounds.

Are these bullets safe to shoot at steel targets?

Yes. The 91/4/5 alloy won't shatter or fragment when it strikes steel, making them safe for steel target ranges without the ricochet risk associated with some harder or more brittle bullet materials.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 500 bullets, making it convenient for serious reloaders who shoot volume and want to buy in practical bulk quantities.
