.45 ACP 200 Gr. SWC

Write A Review

1. Coated Bullets First Use

   Had not used coated bullets before, just jacketed, cast, and recently plated. I ordered some samples of 9 mm, 38 Super, 40 and 45 ACP. I have tested the 200 Gr..45 and 180 GR 40 very successfully. Nice to handle, clean shooting (50 rounds and the patch was nearly clean!) and accurate. I'm still working up a load for the 165 Gr 40. Have not had the chance to work up loads for the 9mm or the Super as yet. Based on the experience, I ordered a thousand each of the two bullets tested. I expect I will do the same again in future. At least as good is the bullets is the fulfillment of orders by Bayou Bullets, communication is superb, responsiveness & shipping great. Remarkably positive experience. Sandy on 3rd May 2017

2. Updated version of an old friend!

   Had loaded 200 grain SWC's for close to 35 years for 45 ACP. All were hardcast with some sort of grease or wax lube by various suppliers. These coated bullets by Bayou are the best I've ever loaded! My dies stay clean as well as the barrel. No residue on my fingers. They are very accurate and punch clean holes in cardboard IDPA and USPSA targets. My 1911's like them loaded to an OAL of 1.240". As long as Bayou sell them, I will buy them!

3. very good very accurate

   Loaded up for use in G 41. Loaded to moderate velocity and function and feed were just as good as ball. No abnormal residue on barell. Will buy again. Not five stars because of the strange odor created from fireing. Good for competition and fun on steel. pistola988 on 25th Apr 2017

5. consistant

   First batch of coated bullets from any maker. I ordered two 100 round sample packs for load testing/development. I like that the sample packs are offered to try for minimal investment before buying large quantities of a product that may not work in your firearm. Some measurements from a random sample of 50:
   
   OAL- .007" total variance
   DIA- .452" + .0003"/ -.0000"
   Wt- 2 gr total variance
   
   Best load shot 1.1" 5 rd, and 2" 20 rd at 25 yds with a custom 1911 w/ Kart barrel from a sandbag rest. This is the limit of my ability, and I believe these would shoot much tighter from a machine rest. Almost zero smoke shooting outdoors. Very easy to clean up afterwards. r.silbaugh@yahoo.com on 11th Apr 2017

6. The best

   I've tried several different types of 200 grain SWC bullets over the years; lead, polymer coated, jacketed, and plated. These are the best ever, less smoke, less barrel fouling, and as accurate as any of the others. Bayou has the fastest shipping I've ever encountered; order on Monday and they're in my hands by Wednesday. Tom on 4th Apr 2017

7. I want more.

   The 200gr SWC are the are some of the most accurate bullets that I have ever shot out of my 1911A1. Using 5.5 gr of Unique, Winchester large primers and mixed brass, I shot one 7 shot ragged hole in my target at 25 yards from a bench rest. No failures to feed at all.This was the first time that I have ever shot 200gr swc in my 1911A1 but it will now be my favorites. Ordering more on payday. Unknown on 30th Mar 2017

8. The Very Best

   This is my second order of these coated bullets. I had ordered 500 of these and 500 of the .380 before. They worked so well and shot so cleanly, I ordered the 2200 pack. This is my favorite .45 lead bullet, the HG68. Used over VV 520 or 540, these proved much more accurate.
   
   I can't believe how clean these coated bullets are. I can examine the interior of my barrels with my bore scope. There is NO lead build up at all.
   
   Don't hesitate to place a BIG order. You will not be sorry. Eric kennard on 11th Mar 2017

9. just as accurate for less cost

   I had been shooting Xtreme bullets and a friend of mine told me to give these a try. The bayou bullets are just as accurate and for less cost. Thank you bayou! Danny on 22nd Feb 2017

10. Great Bullets and excellent service

    I have used these bullets for several years and have not had any problems. I was able to receive a discount on this order because Bayou Bullets supported the Georgia Steel Challenge Match with a bullet coupon. Thank you Bayou Bullets for supporting the shooting sports.
