Barnes Pioneer 45 Colt 200 Grain XPB Hollow Point Lead-Free Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Barnes Pioneer 45 Colt 200 Grain XPB Hollow Point lead-free ammunition delivers the terminal performance that lever-gun and revolver shooters demand. Engineered to feed reliably from tubular magazines and cylinder to chamber, these rounds are built for the shooter who wants modern ballistics without compromise on traditional firearms. Each box contains 20 rounds of ammunition loaded to precise specifications for consistent velocity and predictable shot-to-shot behavior.

Lead-free construction is increasingly popular among hunters and shooters concerned with environmental impact, yet Barnes doesn't sacrifice performance to achieve it. The XPB hollow point design provides controlled expansion and weight retention, which translates to deeper penetration and reliable energy transfer on game. Whether you're hunting with a Marlin 1894, a Ruger Blackhawk, or a vintage wheelgun, these rounds are purpose-built to function in the unique feeding demands of those platforms.

If you shoot 45 Colt regularly, you know ammunition options can be limited—especially when you want quality beyond plinking loads. Barnes Pioneer ammunition fills that gap by offering professional-grade, modern bullet technology in a cartridge steeped in American shooting heritage. The emphasis on feeding reliability means you can focus on sight picture and trigger control rather than babying rounds through the magazine or worrying about function issues.
