Speer Bullets .45 Cal 230 Grain LRN (452 Dia) - Box of 500

Reloading .45 ACP rounds? The Speer .45 Cal 230 Grain LRN bullet is a proven workhorse for handloaders who want reliable, cost-effective ammunition without sacrificing quality. At 230 grains with a .452-inch diameter and round-nose lead construction, this is the classic full-power .45 load—ideal for target practice, plinking, or just keeping your reloading bench productive. A box of 500 gives you plenty to work with, whether you're burning through range sessions or building match ammo.

What sets Speer lead bullets apart is their multi-layer lubrication system. Unlike basic lead projectiles, this advanced lube formula stays bonded to the bullet instead of burning away or running off during storage and transport. That means less fouling in your barrel, dramatically reduced lead buildup, and easier cleanup downrange. The lube is clean and dry to the touch—no messy residue on your hands or equipment—and it won't melt off or separate under typical storage conditions.

Speer has been manufacturing lead bullets since the company's early days, and they've refined the process to deliver consistent, affordable bullets that perform. Whether you're a high-volume shooter working up load data or someone who simply values the economics of lead bullets, the 230-grain round-nose profile is one of the most popular and forgiving designs in .45 ACP reloading. Pair these with your powder and primers, and you'll have reliable ammunition that handles like you'd expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What .45 ACP pistols will these bullets work in?

The .452-inch diameter is standard for .45 ACP, so these bullets will chamber in any modern .45 ACP handgun. The round-nose profile promotes reliable feeding, especially in semi-automatic platforms.

Will these bullets cause barrel leading?

The multi-layer lube system is designed to minimize leading. Unlike untreated lead bullets, Speer's lube stays bonded to the bullet and prevents most of the gas cutting that causes lead fouling in the barrel.

Are these suitable for target shooting and practice?

Yes. The 230-grain round-nose is a standard load weight and profile for target work and plinking. The lube system keeps your barrel clean, making these practical for high-volume shooting sessions.
