My favorites for a 1-30 or 1-28 45cal in no special order.

PR Ultimate 360gr QT conical...these are "pointy" but $$$$

PB Plat 300gr with no more than 100grs..man i hate suggesting them but they shoot great and it is a 45-300gr bullet...again $$$$

180gr-200gr XTPs or 180gr GoldDots for general use

200gr SST for the longer shots and not too expensive

TRUE premium priced options
Barnes 195gr MZ or Lehigh 185gr...both are pretty easy to get moving accurately and bullet failure is slim

Lehigh 200gr if you can get them to group in your gun. IMO it should be the top performer at all ranges most people can shoot.

And a great fun bullet is the Barnes 40-155gr TAC-XP when they are on sale. They are little rockets and deadly accurate in mine. The base will still weigh 140grs even with all the petals blown off.
