Hatcher in his Textbook of Pistols and Revolvers, on page 374, gives this as information on the 45 Model of 1909 Cartridge:

Bullet weight: 255 grains (except Remington 250 grains)
Bullet diameter: 0.454 inch
Bullet length 0.72 inch

There was a metal jacketed 45 Caliber revolver cartridge "issued for use in the Philippines" with a bullet weighing 234 grains with a cupronickle jacket.
