As I understand it, .45 Auto is .45 ACP. I have ammo in boxes marked both ways.

As used by most people .45 "AUTO" is ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol)
just don't try to use .45 GAP which is "Glock Automatic Pistol" which is shorter and uses a small pistol primer instead of a large pistol primer

ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol, hence .45 Auto. One and the same!

As said, 45 ACP is 45 Auto. Don't use 45 GAP or 45 LC and you will be fine.

Buy the .45 Auto Rim and then send it to me. I shoot it in an old Colt .45 revolver that my grandfather brought back from WW1.

I would love to see someone try to get a .45 LC round into a magazine or single load one into a .45ACP firearm.
The .45 LC, aka Long Colt, revolver cartridge has a case that is longer than the overall length of the .45 cartridge.
You would need a hammer to close the action.

And that would provide crowd pleasing entertainment for all at sufficient distance...

I have 100 rounds of .45 Auto Rim reloads if anyone wants them. I bought them at a gun show about a while ago not knowing they weren't .45 ACP

Cool. Pull the bullets and reload them using good data.

I'm not following you. The brass still can't be used in a .45 Auto such as a model 1911. The .45 auto rim is for revolvers such as a model 1917.

Mickec, I agree with you. I wouldn't shoot anyone else's reloads. My own reloads are fairly mild. I know other people who tend to load hot. So, I would be very suspicious unless it was a well known commercial reloader. Thanks for clearing that up.
