One is called 45 ACP so the 45 ACP reloaders can find it in the catalog (if you were shooting 45 ACP, would you look for 45 Colt bullets in an on line catalog?) and one is called 45 Colt so that the 45 Colt reloaders can find it. Some may think harder is better for the 45 Colt that can be reloaded to a higher velocity than the ACP...
