45 ammo is insane. I can find it on gun broker for 3x what is was 6 months ago. I reload a significant amount of rifle ammo. I know how critical twist rate is to bullet weight in rifles. I can't find anything on 45acp bullet weights/twist. I see it for sale from 165-230gr. If I'm paying 3x the price I would like maximum accuracy. Anyone have any insight on this? It's 1-16 twist. Does it even matter?

One in sixteen is standard .45 ACP twist. It does well with bullets heavier than 230gr. It does well with 165's. Pick your bullet by style and weight and go with it. No worries.

16" twist in a .45 bore will stabilize something in the neighborhood of 540 grains of lead.
