In the case of the 1911A1 pistol, in .45 ACP, firing a standard 230 gr. round nosed bullet, when elevated to 33 degrees, the bullet will travel 2096 ft. Not accurately, but that is it's maximum RANGE. When fired from a carbine or submachinegun, the range may be greater.
The answer varies, depending on WHICH .45 caliber bullet, and which weapon fires it. In the case of the 1911A1 pistol, in .45 ACP, firing a standard 230 gr. round nosed bullet, when elevated to 33 degrees, the bullet will travel 2096 ft. Not accurately, but that is it's maximum RANGE.
45 ACP (auto) has a muzzle velocity of anywhere from 830-1100 fps, depending on the load. There ARE other .45 cartridges.
.45 ACP
.45 caliber ACP
It sounds like maybe a .45 ACP. If the bullet is 11mm wide (diameter) and the case (not counting the bullet) is 25mm long, that sounds about right for a .45 ACP round.
Depends on which .45- 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 45 Magnum, 45-70, and which bullet, and what it is fired from. If you mean the .45 ACP fired by a 1911A1 pistol, velocity varies from 830 FPS up to about 1020 fps. Slow, fat, but gets the job done.
The 45 GAP operates at slightly higher pressure than standard (non +p) 45 ACP ammunition and by this means is able to generate similar velocity and energy to the 45 ACP cartridge. The 380 Auto cartridge is not only smaller than 9mm Luger, it is also far lower pressure. The 380 Auto delivers far less velocity and energy and cannot handle as much bullet mass as the 9mm.

Automatic Colt Pistol. Colt invented the .45 Auto and thus had the right to name it.
If you are talking about a .45 acp The bullet diameter of .451 equates to 11.5mm. If you are talking about a bullet used in rifle calibers (45-70) etc.then the bullet diameter of .457 equates to 11.7mm.
The 45 acp cartridge is based on the bullet diameter of .451 in.This cartridge is not measured by millimeter,s.The 45mm shell is a lot larger,and is considered a anti aircraft shell of for use against lightly armoured vehicles.The bullet diameter of this shell is in excess of 2inches in diameter.
Approximately 900feet per second depending on the bullet (155grn or 225grn?).
