I am new to the .45ACP have always shot 9mm and .40S&W
Is there a big difference in 185gran vs 230gran bullets for the .45ACP.
Thanks in advance for your input.
I've always shot 230 gr hardball with great results!

I carry 230 gr HP, but I shoot 185 gr. RN for target shooting as they do run a bit cheaper for reloading. At short distances i have yet to notice a difference in POA/POI between the two. I had a chance to shoot the 230's at about 15-20yds at a rabbit and was a perfect hit exactly where I was aiming. Over kill I know, only gun I had on me out at my parents.
45 Super is externally/dimensionally identical to 45 acp or 45 acp+P and is designed to be used in 45 acp semi auto pistols that have been fitted with stronger than normal recoil springs and a shock buffer, plus a couple other modifications. While you can shoot 45 SUPER out of some stock 45 acp+P pistols such as the Glock 21, HK USP or the full sized all steel 1911, you will batter your pistol if you do not have them modified to handle the extra pressure and slide velocity of the 45 Super
You could go with the normal 45 rounds... or you could get a good gun that can handle the 45 super..........
1252.2 fps / 644 ft lbs / all at 50 yards....
All from a 185 grain hollow point...
Or the 255 grain at 50 yards...
1169.5 fps / 774.4 ft lbs < That just makes you smile.
These do make your guns (my Hk's) kick like a mule if you could imagine...
