Re: Bullets for S&W
If you are looking for what the U.S. version of the 1917 shot, .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), then this would be a good source to start with:

BUT if you are looking for info on the .455 Eley (what the main page here says the film gun was), then prepare to go down the rabbit hole:

Wow. Thanks for the info. I think I've gone blind. I think I'll just throw in some .45 rounds from my Glock. I'll just snag some brass at my next shoot and throw in some slugs.Mountaineer wrote:If you are looking for what the U.S. version of the 1917 shot, .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), then this would be a good source to start with:
