Soooo does this count as a 45?? Technically it shoots 45 cal… I can shoot 45 long colt from her. But why would I? 😂😂

It still uses a .452 bullet which is standard .45. People have to realize that the name of the caliber rarely translates to the actual bullet diameter. .270 is actually .277. .38spec is actually .357 etc.

Yeah it’s obvious most don’t know that. Kinda funny. I hand load for this monster. You are correct. .452 is what she takes. I have shot standard 45 long colt out of it before but SO boring. It’s more fun shooting 22LR. 😂
