I just bought a box of 500 bullets. They're 452 Diameter 200 grain 45 Colt (Long Colt) bullets.

When I ordered these through Midway, I was paying attention to the 45 cal 452 diameter and didn't notice they were 45 Colt (Long Colt).

Did I buy the wrong bullets for reloading 45 ACP?

I do believe so

What are they made of and what's the profile?????

They're Oregon Trail 45 LC Cal 200 g RN FP .452.

Actually, reading the reviews, they appear to be used for 45 auto. I must have read the review originally before I added them to my cart. So I guess I'm good to go.

As you might have realized, I'm new to reloading.

They may work just fine. If they are cast or plated you are golden. Ignore the crimp groove when seating.

You can probably use them but i would check them and see what they measure out to. Most of the time i have checked them they measure .451 any how.

They will work fine. Might not be the best to use in the World Bullseye Championship. Used to shoot a bunch of 45 Colt. I now shoot a 180 and a 200gr 452 in my National Match.

Anybody you know that cast 45acp? He probably has a sizer that you can make 451 out of 452.

The diameter is fine if their lead or plated. most lead or plated .45acp bullet are .452, not sure if .452 jacketed is ok, I would guess not.

Seamore: been useing that same bullet, made by Alliant, for good while for my 1911's as well as 45Colt. Works fine for me but I only do target/plinking.

Finally got these made up. They worked perfectly, and my fire was about as accurate as I can shoot. I put them on 4.0 grains of Bullseye and found it a very easy load. These worked out much better then the 185g cast SWC I'd used in my previous loads.
