Product Overview

Buffalo Bore's Heavy .45 Colt +P loading transforms the traditional cowboy cartridge into a serious contender for big game hunting and backcountry defense. With its substantial 300-grain SJFP bullet achieving a remarkable 1700 fps velocity, this round generates energy levels that rival many rifle cartridges. When you need to stop a charging boar or defend against large predators, this ammunition delivers rifle-grade terminal performance from your trusted wheel gun.

The semi-jacketed flat point design ensures controlled expansion while maintaining deep penetration—crucial for ethical harvests of deer, elk, or black bear within 50 yards. This isn't your grandfather's cowboy action load; the +P pressure rating means it's specifically engineered for modern strong-frame revolvers like the Ruger Blackhawk or T/C Contender. If you're running guide service in bear country or hunting in thick brush where shots come close and quick, this round provides the confidence of knowing you're carrying adequate firepower.

The brass casing and precise loading specifications ensure consistent performance in demanding conditions, whether you're tracking through mountain snow or trudging through swamp bottom heat. At 1924 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, you're essentially carrying magnum rifle power in a package that fits on your hip. Just remember: this isn't range ammunition—it's purpose-built for serious field use where failure isn't an option and every shot needs to count.

Strengths
  • Exceptional muzzle energy (1924 ft-lbs) makes it highly effective for hunting large game
  • Semi-jacketed flat point design offers controlled expansion while maintaining deep penetration
  • 1700 fps velocity provides flatter trajectory for longer range accuracy
  • Heavy 300gr bullet weight maintains momentum through brush and thick hide
  • +P loading delivers magnum-level performance from standard .45 Colt platforms
Limitations
  • Significant felt recoil from the high-pressure +P loading may affect quick follow-up shots
  • Premium price point compared to standard .45 Colt loads
  • Not suitable for cowboy action shooting due to excessive power
  • Limited to modern strong firearms rated for +P loads
  • Higher pressure may accelerate wear on firearms components over time
