Overview
Designed for handgun shooters loading .45 ACP ammunition, these 230-grain round nose bullets offer a plated option for routine range use and practice sessions. The fully enclosed copper plating is intended to help reduce airborne lead and fouling while keeping costs below jacketed projectiles. Each bullet is swaged to size and weight, plated, and then swaged again to the specified diameter for consistent loading. They are suitable for standard pistol velocities, making them a practical choice for shooters who want a straightforward component for everyday training.

- Round nose profile is a general-purpose shape, but the listing does not indicate any specialized use beyond standard pistol shooting.
- The product is sold in a 250-count box, which may be more than needed for occasional use.
