Description
Fiocchi took a proven approach to handgun hunting ammunition by building their new Hyperformance Hunt line around components that demand performance. These rounds start with precision-formed brass cases, clean-burning primers, and carefully measured powder charges. The whole package exists for one reason: to put game down efficiently on the first shot.
The Barnes XPB advantage in this .45 Long Colt load
The barrel here is a monolithic Barnes XPB all-copper hollow point, a bullet type that's changed handgun hunting since it was first designed. Unlike traditional jacketed bullets with lead cores that can separate on impact, the all-copper design stays together while expanding reliably. The nose peels back into four sharp-edged petals, creating the kind of tissue damage that matters when hunting. You get weight retention that maintains momentum through bone and hide, plus the penetration depth needed for a quick, humane kill.
Built for real-world hunting conditions
The 200-grain projectile leaves the muzzle at 1010 fps, putting this load in the practical sweet spot for revolver hunters and those using lever-action rifles. This velocity delivers enough energy for deer-sized game and wilderness defense scenarios without excessive recoil. The round launches at standard pressures that are safe across a wide range of traditional and modern .45 Colt firearms.
You're getting 25 rounds per box of factory ammunition loaded to SAAMI specifications. The brass is reloadable if you're into handloading, and everything is non-corrosive and designed for field conditions. This is ammunition built for hunters who demand reliability when it counts most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Fiocchi Hunt load work in my single action revolver?
Yes, this ammunition is loaded to standard SAAMI pressures and will function in traditional single action revolvers as well as modern double action revolvers. Since it's not a +P load, it's safe across the broad range of .45 Colt firearms including older Colts, Rugers, Cimarrons, and similar models. Always verify your specific firearm is chambered in .45 Long Colt before shooting.
Can I reload the brass from this Fiocchi Hyperformance Hunt ammunition?
Yes, these rounds come in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, which is standard for handloaders. The brass quality is consistent across Fiocchi ammunition, and many reloaders report good results with multiple loadings. Just follow proper handloading practices and make sure to use an appropriate roll crimp for revolver cartridges.
How does the 200 grain XPB bullet compare to lead hollow points for hunting?
The all-copper XPB design won't separate like traditional jacketed lead-core bullets can, maintaining weight throughout the wound channel for deeper penetration. It expands reliably to roughly twice its original diameter, providing the tissue damage necessary for quick, ethical kills on game. This is premium hunting ammunition, not basic self-defense or target rounds.
Is this ammunition suitable for a lever-action rifle chambered in .45 Colt?
Absolutely. This load works well in lever-action rifles like the Henry or Winchester 1892 models. The 200-grain profile is standard rifle-friendly length, and 1010 fps from a revolver means you'll get noticeably more velocity and energy from a rifle barrel, making it very effective for hunting applications.
