Bore diameter
I found several boxes of .45 caliber bullets for reloading on sale. I don't remember the price because it said the diameter was .451. I though the bore diameter of the .45 ACP was .452? They were copper jacketed.
Since I haven't started my reloading hobby yet, I was curious if this .001" is going to be a big deal? I could also use them for my Vaquero in 45 Colt. I always thoguth that if you went with a smaller diameter bullet, you would need to use a gas check design. I could probably slug the barrels of both my 45's, but I don't really have any soft lead to do so. I might be able to save a buck or two by picking them up. Help?

45ACP is 0.451 for jacketed bullets and 0.452 for lead bullets.
