So it should work if modified for 45ACP also.

Most likely it would void the lifetime warranty.

But I think that reloading is a better option in reducing cost. I asked around and ended up with a 5 gallon bucket of wheel weight. Mold cost me $26 and a friend allows me to use his progressive set up.

Cost per reload is 3 to 5 cents. Brass and lead are the most expensive components.

I think the advantage of the 45ACP is the ease of reloading, as the 45LC speedloader contacts the grip. 45ACP on moon clips would be much shorter and eliminate the issue with the grip.
