45 LC bullet question

[Western Metal Inc]

We are about to produce some 45 LC ammunition. The bullet choice is pictured below. The one on the left is a semi wad cutter in 255 grain lead with a Brinnel of 12. The one on the right is a round nose flat point in 250 grain lead with a Brinnel of 12.
Which one do you prefer?

RNFP 250gn but I prefer it to be jacketed. Will make a projectile for 45LC that is jacketed?

 

[King0265]

Whichever one will be cheaper to buy

Round nose flat point in 250 grain lead for me please. I could use some 45LC brass as well, either once fired or new would be ok.

 

[Hunter1970]

RNFP here as well

The flat nosed one on the left is the best designed bullet.
It looks like it came out of a Lyman mold.

I like to use the semi wadcutter because it leaves a nice clean hole.

We are not hunting or self-defence so RNFP will work for cowboys ,Silhouettes, punching holes in paper or tin cans. The few that might be hunting with a 45 colt will need a RNFP to cycle in a rifle and the flat is almost the same with a higher ballistic coeffenit. Right side please.
Also the RNFP has a better lead into the crimp groove for a firm crimp without lead shaving, so you can seat and crimp in one operation. The SWC with a tighter crimp is best to crimp at a separate step.

Another vote for RNFP.

Rnfp. Plus could use for 45 ACP for those of us interested in heavier and harder hitting.

The SWC style on the left will not feed properly in my lever action. The one on the right feeds like butter.

Perfect timing just bought my first 45LC revolver!

Rnfp for me

 

[MuthaFunk]

I guess there's no need for me to add my preference as the majority has already spoken.

RNFP for me.

 

[mbogo3]

.452 or .454 ?

 

[Western Metal Inc]

I believe these are .452.
We have decided to make the ammo with the RNFP - thank you. We will also make some plated ammo in the near future.
