The Speer Plinker .45 Caliber 230 Grain Round Nose Bullets (Speer part no. 4714) are Plinker-line handgun bullets built for high-volume .45-caliber range shooting at a value price. Speer wraps a specialized copper jacket completely around the lead core, which cuts down on airborne lead at the range compared to an exposed-lead bullet. The result is consistent, accurate performance suited to high-round-count practice sessions rather than premium hunting or defensive loads. At 0.452-inch diameter and 230 grains, this is a standard .45 ACP weight and size that drops into existing .45 load data.
