The Speer 4714 45 ACP 230-grain round nose bullets deliver consistent performance for reloaders seeking reliable projectiles for training and target shooting applications. This bulk 500-count package provides excellent value for high-volume shooters who demand quality components at competitive prices.
What Makes This Different
Speer's precision manufacturing process ensures uniform weight distribution and consistent dimensions across every bullet in the box. The traditional round nose profile feeds reliably in most 45 ACP firearms while maintaining stable flight characteristics. Quality control standards exceed industry benchmarks, with weight variance typically held within ±0.5 grains of specification.
Key Features
- 230-grain weight optimized for standard 45 ACP velocities and pressure curves
- Round nose profile ensures smooth feeding in semi-automatic pistols
- Lead core construction with copper-plated jacket for reduced barrel fouling
- Consistent diameter of .451 inches for proper bore engagement
- Bulk 500-count packaging reduces per-round cost for volume shooters
- Compatible with standard reloading dies and equipment
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for reliable performance
These bullets perform consistently across various powder charges and seating depths, making load development straightforward for both novice and experienced reloaders. The round nose design penetrates targets cleanly while the plated construction minimizes lead exposure during handling. Range testing shows reliable expansion in gelatin media when loaded to appropriate velocities.
