There are two ways to answer your questions:

1- The Maximum Effective Range, or

2- The Maximum Range [period].

Generally, the .45ACP is fired in a handgun (Thompson submachine gun, an exception). Handguns tend to be fairly accurate at close ranges: 0-15 yards. Accurate shooters can deliver good hits up 25-50 yards, or more, but this isn't typically how handguns are used. Greater than 20 yards, one should consider using a shotgun or better yet, a rifle.

Now overall maximum range depends on many factors: shooting at a 45 degree angle, with a strong wind at the shooter's back will get the longest range, as would shooting from a hilltop. This type of firing will not be accurate, but dangerous out to 1000--2000 meters, over a mile.
