Description

When you need serious power from a .45 Auto Rim revolver, this Buffalo Bore load doesn't mess around. The 255-grain hard cast flat nose bullet is designed for shooters who understand that deep, reliable penetration matters more than expansion. You're getting the ballistic performance equivalent to +P .45 ACP loads while still being safe for any post-war .45 ACP revolver in good condition.

Buffalo Bore's +P Hard Cast Approach

This isn't soft lead. The hard cast construction means this bullet won't deform when it contacts a target. Instead, it's engineered to punch straight through with approximately 30 inches of penetration through flesh and bone. That kind of performance is why these rounds appeal to folks shooting vintage guns like Model 1917 Colt and S&W revolvers, as well as modern wheelguns. The heavy grain weight and hard bullet design make this equally suitable for outdoor use or personal protection scenarios.

Flash-Suppressed Powder for Night Shooting

One of the smarter touches on this ammunition is the flash-suppressed powder. The reality is that most civilian defensive situations happen in low-light conditions, and the last thing you need is your own muzzle flash destroying your night vision right when it matters. This load keeps that under control so you can see what you're doing.

Quality Starline brass ensures consistent performance across multiple reloads if you're the reloading type. With 1000 fps velocity and 566 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, you've got a load that performs like the +P offerings but stays within pressures the .45 Auto Rim was designed to handle safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this 45 Auto Rim ammunition safe to use in my .45 ACP revolver?

Yes. This load is safe for any post-war .45 ACP revolver in normal operating condition, including Model 1917 Colt and S&W revolvers. The .45 Auto Rim cartridge was specifically designed to work in these revolvers without needing moon clips. Just make sure your gun is in good condition before shooting any +P load.

What makes hard cast bullets different from jacketed hollow points?

Hard cast bullets won't expand like hollow points do. Instead, they penetrate deeply and consistently without deforming. This load is engineered for approximately 30 inches of penetration, making it effective for deep penetration scenarios. It trades expansion for reliability and straight-line performance, which is valuable in revolver applications.

Why is flash-suppressed powder important?

Most defensive situations happen in low light or darkness, and standard powder can create a bright flash that destroys your night vision right when you need it most. This ammunition uses flash-suppressed powder so you can see after firing. It's a practical advantage for real-world use.

Can I reload these brass cases?

Yes. Buffalo Bore uses quality Starline brass, which is known for durability and consistent performance through multiple reload cycles. You'll want to follow proper reloading procedures and pressure guidelines for the .45 Auto Rim +P when developing your handloads.
