Got a flyer this week from Samco Global and they are selling 45 HP which looks like 45 ACP but with a 1mm longer case. They say it can't be fired from a standard 45 ACP barrel but you can get a converion barrel. Was wondering if it would work OK in a 45ACP revolver?

It's about $3.00 a box cheaper than what I can get 45 ACP ball at Walmart, of course that's before shipping. Figuring 20 boxes to a 1000rd case that $60 difference. If shipping were reasonable, say $20-$30 it would be like getting 2 boxes free, of course I could only use it in my revolvers. As far as reloading goes I wonder if you could just trim the cases and reload them like regular 45 ACP?
If it will work in a revolver and especially if your near southern FL it might be a pretty good deal depending on how it performs.
