Buffalo Bore Ammunition's 45 Colt (Long Colt) +P 260 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point is a serious handload for hunters and sport shooters who demand more velocity and terminal performance from their wheelgun. The +P pressure rating pushes this cartridge beyond standard 45 Colt limits, making it ideal for hunting medium game and personal defense from a full-size revolver. The 260-grain jacketed hollow point bullet is engineered to expand reliably while maintaining penetration, giving you the stopping power that has made the 45 Colt a respected cartridge for over 140 years—now with modern ballistic capability.

Buffalo Bore has built a reputation on delivering ammunition that performs when it matters. This loading pairs consistent powder charges and quality primer and brass with a heavy, purpose-built projectile. Whether you're shooting a Ruger Blackhawk, a cowboy-action platform, or a modern 45 Colt revolver rated for +P loads, this ammunition is engineered for rifles and revolvers that can handle the increased pressure. Each box contains 20 rounds, giving you enough to build confidence on the range or in the field.

This is not light target ammunition—it's loaded for serious work. If your 45 Colt sees regular use in hunting or defensive scenarios and your firearm is rated for +P pressures, Buffalo Bore's 260-grain hollow point is worth considering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot this in any 45 Colt revolver?

Buffalo Bore's +P loads are designed for firearms rated to handle +P pressures. Verify your revolver's manual or markings before use. Modern firearms like the Ruger Blackhawk and other quality revolvers are typically rated for +P, but older or less robust frames may not be. When in doubt, consult your manufacturer.

What's the difference between standard 45 Colt and +P?

The +P designation means this ammunition is loaded to higher pressure limits than standard 45 Colt, resulting in increased velocity and energy. Standard 45 Colt loads are designed for older, lighter revolvers; +P loads deliver better ballistic performance in firearms built to handle the pressure. Never use +P ammunition in a firearm not rated for it.

The 260-grain hollow point bullet is engineered for hunting medium game at handgun ranges. The combination of bullet weight and hollow point design makes this loading suitable for hunters using 45 Colt revolvers for hunting applications, though you should verify the specific game and range regulations in your area.
