More Information on .45ACP Ammo:
Q: What is the appropriate .45ACP ammo to use?
A: You can use any Standard velocity .45 ACP ammo, including Full Metal Jacket, Metal Case, Jacketed Hollow Points and of course, Lead bullets. Note: Jacketed ammo may wear out the bore of your barrel slightly faster than lead ammo.
If you are reloading, use .45 ACP bullets with a standard pressure charge of Smokeless powder. Follow the online recommendations on the powder manufacturers website.
Q: Should I use Smokeless or Black Power to reload .45 ACP?
A: For a modern cartridge like .45 ACP, Smokeless powder is preferred. Follow the online recommendations on the powder manufacturers website. However, Black Powder could also be used.
Q: Is it okay to use “plated” lead bullets, (like Berry’s Bullets) or Hi-Tek “polymer coated” bullets?
A: Yes, it is okay to use lead bullets with copper plating or a polymer coating on them. These plated or coated lead bullets smoke less, reduce barrel leading, and don’t transfer lead to your skin while reloading.
Do NOT use with brass framed revolvers. Brass trigger guard ok, full brass frame NO! Free hand included a $45 value This Kirst 2-Step Hand is specifically designed to improve the lock up of both percussion revolvers & conversions with Kirst Konverters. It allows the 1860, 1851 & 1861 to function smoothly and more dependably than the factory-made hand. In addition, the hand spring is stronger and less apt to fail, which is common with the factory hands. This product will also successfully solve problems with advancing and locking up the cylinder, which are inherit to all 1860 Army revolvers made after 2015. Designed by Walt Kirst, this is a must have for every shooter!
NOTE: May require special fitting by a gunsmith. Sometimes they will fit right out of the box but because the revolvers over the different years may vary they may not always fit correctly out of the box. New conversion cylinders by Kirst often need slight modifications to fit properly. Many gun owners can do the work themselves while others may require the help of a gunsmith.
