Cool

The .45 Colt and the .45 Long Colt are the same cartrridge; only Hornady has used the latter name in the past 5 years.

There are more differences between the handgun bullets and the rifle bullets than just diameter. The handgun bullets have thinner jackets and are usually lighter in weight. The rifle bullets have thicker jackets, usually harder lead, and most are designed for higher velocities.
