Description
This is ammunition designed for people who know their firearm can handle it. The Grizzly .45 Long Colt +P sits at the intersection of ballistic power and proven reliability, delivering the kind of performance that hunting and high-level sport shooting demand without the brutal recoil of heavier magnum cartridges.
The 300-grain bonded flat point projectile is where the real engineering shows up. The copper jacket bonds directly to the lead core, which means the bullet stays together through whatever it hits while still expanding in a controlled manner. This is the difference between a round that just goes through and one that actually works.
Why the +P Rating Matters
That +P designation means these loads run hotter than standard .45 Colt pressure, which is the entire point. You get velocity that sits at 1225 fps from the factory, giving you enough downrange punch to handle big game hunting or steel target shooting where energy really matters. But here's the thing: it's still manageable recoil compared to stepping up to a .454 Casull. The .45 Long Colt +P fills a sweet spot for anyone with a modern Ruger Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Redhawk, or compatible lever-action rifle.
Built in the USA with Hands-On Quality Control
Grizzly loads every round with flash-suppressed powder and uses new production, non-corrosive brass that's reloadable if you're into that. The company founder personally oversees each production step, which means these aren't mass-production rounds that pass a bare minimum test. Each box contains 20 rounds ready to go.
This ammunition is purpose-built for strong firearms. It's not intended for vintage single-action revolvers or older guns rated only for standard .45 Colt pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms can safely fire this .45 Long Colt +P ammunition?
This is high-pressure ammunition designed only for modern, large-frame revolvers rated for +P loads, such as the Ruger Blackhawk, Redhawk, and Super Blackhawk, as well as compatible modern lever-action rifles. It should never be fired in vintage or smaller-frame revolvers. Always verify your firearm is rated for +P pressure before using this ammunition.
How does the 300-grain bonded flat point perform compared to other .45 Colt loads?
The bonded construction means the copper jacket stays attached to the lead core, preventing separation and ensuring deeper penetration with controlled expansion. At 1225 fps, this load delivers significantly more velocity and energy than standard-pressure .45 Colt while remaining much more manageable than heavy magnum rounds. It's built for hunting and serious sport shooting.
Are these cartridges reloadable?
Yes. Grizzly uses new production, non-corrosive brass cases with Boxer primers, making them fully reloadable for handloaders who want to save costs on range practice or customize their loads.
What is the effective range for hunting with this ammunition?
With a .45 Long Colt +P load from a modern revolver, effective hunting range for deer-sized game is typically 50-75 yards for most shooters. With a scoped lever-action rifle and extensive practice, it can reach 100-125 yards. Bullet construction and shot placement matter more than energy numbers alone.
