Buffalo Bore's Strictly Business line has earned its reputation by delivering ammunition that does what it promises. This particular load packs a 225 grain soft cast hollow point into a standard pressure .45 Colt round that operates safely in any .45 Colt firearm in normal working condition, yet hits considerably harder than typical factory ammunition.
The soft cast construction combined with the hollow point design gives you controlled expansion that crushes through tissue efficiently. The flat-nosed hollow cavity is designed specifically to create a disabling terminal effect while maintaining the penetration needed for reliable performance across different shooting angles. You're looking at roughly 24 inches of straight-line penetration in living tissue with this load, which means you get both the expansion characteristics you want and the depth to handle anything a .45 Colt is reasonably tasked with.
The brass cases are quality stuff that'll handle the rigors of regular use without issue. Buffalo Bore manufactures everything in-house, which means tighter quality control than you'd expect from a specialty ammunition maker. They've been doing this since 1997 and have built a following among people who actually shoot their tools rather than just talk about them.
This is a heavy load, and it'll feel like one. It's not range practice ammo and never should be treated that way. If you're considering this for defensive or hunting purposes, you need to practice with whatever firearm you're pairing it with so you understand the recoil signature and can shoot it accurately. The load is designed for strong-frame revolvers, particularly larger guns where you can get a proper grip and soak up the impulse.
Yes, this is a standard pressure load, which means it's safe for any .45 Colt firearm in normal operating condition. It's a heavy load and more powerful than standard factory ammunition, but it doesn't exceed SAAMI pressure limits for the cartridge. That said, it's really designed for strong-frame revolvers where you can manage the recoil properly.
The soft cast hollow point design gives you reliable expansion without the jacket failures you sometimes see with cheaper ammunition. It's designed to deform and create a larger wound channel while maintaining good penetration depth. The soft lead construction is also less likely to cause barrel leading if you're putting significant volume downrange.
Expect approximately 24 inches of straight-line penetration in living tissue. This is deep enough to ensure reliable performance regardless of shooting angle or obstacles, while the hollow point expansion still provides the terminal effect you're looking for in a defensive or hunting load.
Not really. This is a specialized, heavy load designed for serious use cases like hunting or defense. The recoil is substantial and the ammunition costs more than practice rounds, so you'd want to spend your range time with lighter, less expensive .45 Colt loads. Save this ammunition for when it actually needs to perform.
