.45 ACP 225 Gr. TC

Write A Review

1. Great bullets in cool colors

   The 225 gn TC bullets load easily and punch absolutely clean round holes in my loads. I've gone through 3,000 and about to load 6,000 more. Dealing with Bayou is a pleasure. I have no reason to go anywhere else for coated lead bullets. Unknown on 13th Apr 2021

2. Great shooting bullet

   I don't remember how many of these I've loaded but it's been a lot. In my 1911s, I get great accuracy with them. The coating on all of the bullets of every caliber I've purchased from Bayou Bullets have been really great and hold up well. After shooting a couple hundred, I look from the breech down the barrel and wonder why I'm bothering to clean it. TomR2 on 29th Mar 2021

3. Best supplier for my reloads

4. 225gr TC

   I'm new to loading this type of bullet (having loaded FMJ and JHP rifle/pistol in the past) and have not yet been able to load and test them. I ordered these, various weights/types, to run in Colt SAA clones and a converted Pietta 1858. Obviously I will be shooting reduced power rounds so it will take some time to find what works best. I like the coating so, as I understood it, I don't have to apply anything to the bullets. I've went through a handful of each weight/style I ordered checking sizes. They are sized exactly right in diameter. There is very slight variation in OAL with a small spread from shortest to longest but won't be a problem. Overall, so far, I like what I see and am satisfied with the product. Since I have not actually fired any of them yet I rate 4 instead of 5 stars. Billb on 24th Sep 2020

5. Good product

   This was first time that I tried lead bullets. I bought 225 gr. TC. They perform very good, same as product from Hornady, Nosler and others, but priced much less. Vladimir Rivlin on 5th Sep 2020

7. .45 cal 225 TC

   I got these to test in My Springfield XD, it's fussy about bullet profiles, I usually stick to 230 grain round nose. I loaded them over 6.8 grains of Unique, a mid book but getting into that "snappy" level.
   Every .45 in the group functioned great, the XD not only liked them but clustered five shot ragged 1 hole groups more then once (I am not a hand gunner by any means)!
   I think I found the bullet for My XD! I'll buy more, I like em!!!! Mike D on 10th Aug 2020

8. Great bullets

   The 225 gr. TC bullets work great. Feeding is 100%. Accuracy is great. No leading. I'm running them at 825 fps over Win. 231. Unknown on 6th Aug 2020

9. 45 acp 225gr TC

   I have been shooting cast bullets' for 41 years. These are some of my all time favorites. They are much less messy to load than traditionally lubed cast bullets and, more importantly, they leave no leading in the barrel. The only down side is that the smell of the coating burning off isn't great. Martin Singer on 14th Apr 2020

10. Still My Favorite Coated Bullet For My 1911's

    1 year later and 4,000 more of these 225 gr bullets and they are still my favorite coated bullet by far. I've dropped down to 4.1 grains of Titegroup with an OAL of 1.21 and still get the 170 power factor. Very reliable feed in all my 1911's. RAY BRASSER on 4th Jan 2020
