45ACP Slug

[LBEE]

I made a slug for my 45 acp with a Measurment of .453, the 200 gr swc cast bullets measure at .454 , My question, will this bullet be to small or should I
be around .455 or more? Thanks for any information you may Know about this.

Lets see if I can interpret what you asked. Are you saying you slugged your barrel, and it measures .453? If so, then the ,454 bullets you have should shoot just fine. That's IF you can load them in a case AND they chamber freely. You'd have to bell the case a little more that with standard .452 bullets.

Should work fine. Only one way to tell... shoot 'em.
