NO!!
No, you cannot safely shoot a .45 caliber bullet from a .40 caliber handgun. The .40 caliber handgun is designed specifically for .40 S&W ammunition, which has a different casing size and bullet diameter compared to the .45 caliber. Attempting to use .45 caliber ammunition in a .40 caliber firearm could lead to dangerous malfunctions or serious injury. Always use the correct ammunition specified for your handgun.
Hell no. .410 is not a gauge it is a caliber. True gauge is a measurement of the number of lead balls of bore diameter that constitute a pound. The .243 bullet is a lot smaller than the diameter of a .410 barrel. There are some .410's that can shoot 45 colts but not all can.
Absolutely not. A .45 Long Colt bullet is nominally .455 inches in diameter. A .410 is .41 caliber. The cartridge will fit because of the extra chamber diameter to accommodate the thick body of the shotgun shell, but attempting to fire a revolver cartridge will result in overpressure, a burst barrel, and likely injury.The chamber pressure of a .45 LC is higher than a shotgun is designed to tolerate, to begin with.
The longest shotgun shell that you can safely use in your 12 gauge shotgun are 3 inchers.
None. While there are firearms made to shoot .45 Colt AND .410 shotshells, they are designed and made to do that. A regular .410 shotgun is NOT made to do that safely.
Some .410's in good condition will also chamber the .45 (Long) Colt cartridge. FROM: Riktoo A .45 Long Colt is .455 outside diameter. A 410 shotgun is 410 at the muzzle but imy 3 inch full choke barrel measures only .390 at the muzzle. Do the math ! Can you squeeze .455 lead bullet down to .390 with enough pressure. Answer . Yes.... if you want to blow your gun and yourself to eternity. CAPICH ?
Let's start by using the right term- I think you mean a .380 cartridge- many guns use .380 caliber BULLETS.In general, NO. Unlike .22 shorts and long rifles, rimless cases do not interchange. It may be possible to get a .380 cartridge to fire in another gun- but not safely. Use ammo that is the caliber marked on the gun.
No, you cannot safely fire a 9mm bullet in a .40 caliber Glock. The .40 caliber Glock is designed to handle specific .40 S&W ammunition, and using a 9mm round in this firearm could result in catastrophic failure, including damage to the gun and injury to the shooter. The dimensions and pressure specifications of the two cartridges are different, making them incompatible. Always use the ammunition specified by the manufacturer for your firearm.
Only a .45 LC shot cartridge, same width but length is to short to safely shoot it with a bullet.
It can only safely accept the 270 Weatherby Magnum if that is what it is chambered for. If you want to chamber it in some other caliber than get a new rifle. Just because two bullets have the same diameter bullet (270 or any other caliber) does not make it safe to fire it in your gun.
