Product Overview
This .45 Colt JHP configuration from Ammo Inc delivers substantial stopping power while maintaining manageable recoil in traditional revolvers and lever guns. The 250-grain jacketed hollow point, pushing 842 fps, hits the sweet spot for both personal protection and medium game hunting out to 50 yards. When you need a single load that transitions seamlessly from bedside defense to deer season, this round steps up to the plate.
The brass casing and carefully engineered hollow point ensure consistent expansion and proper feeding, particularly in heritage-style firearms where reliability matters most. At 394 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load packs enough punch for defensive scenarios while avoiding the excessive recoil of +P variants that can hamper quick follow-up shots. If you're running a Ruger Blackhawk or Marlin 1894, you'll appreciate how this ammunition maintains accuracy without beating up your firearm.
For property owners dealing with predators or hunters pursuing whitetail in heavy brush, the terminal performance of this 250-grain JHP proves especially valuable. The projectile's weight retention and controlled expansion create reliable wound channels without over-penetration concerns. You're getting defense-grade ammunition that doubles as a practical hunting round, eliminating the need to switch loads between applications. When versatility matters more than specialized performance, this cartridge deserves a spot in your rotation.
