A single inert Cartridge comprising of a fired case in .45 ACP such as used in a Colt Government Model, Colt 1911, which has been refitted with a lead semi-wadcutter snub nose head. Semi-wadcutter heads are derived from target shooting as they are designed to cut cleaner holes in the target paper for easier scoring with the cylindrical profile of the base of the bullet, but the protruding bullet head means that the bullet head is not required to be fitted flush with the case mouth. This also means that the case chamber has more space and makes semi-wadcutters more suitable for more powerful powder charges. Heads are correctly fitted with a press and not hammered in place, so the round has a more authentic appearance over rounds where the heads have been inserted too deeply. Case necks have been crimped to hold the bullet head in place. Perfect for film, display, diorama or to add authenticity to a firearm. Can also be worn as fashion accessory. Cases are brass. Please note that all rounds have no propellant or live primers. This is a deactivated .45 ACP bullet. To restore a shiny finish, rub the cartridge with toothpaste or a commercial cleaner. Please note that price is for ONE round only. Rounds must travel with courier.
