Does anyone kno what Indy's S&W bullets look like. I know they are .45 but are they like current .45 or different, longer, etc.

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:

History: http://www.sightm1911.com/lib/history/4 ... istory.htm

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:

Some History: http://www.cruffler.com/historic-january02.html

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.

Thanks
