Buffalo Bore Ammunition Outdoorsman 45 ACP +P 255 Grain Hard Cast Lead Flat Nose 20RD

Buffalo Bore Ammunition's Outdoorsman line in 45 ACP +P delivers the kind of hard-hitting, reliable performance that matters when you're carrying for serious defense or hunting. This 255-grain hard cast lead flat nose round is engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration—exactly what you want from a self-defense or hunting round when shot placement counts. Buffalo Bore's reputation for quality ammunition means consistent velocity and dependable ignition, making this a trusted choice for shooters who refuse to compromise on their carry or backup loads.

The flat nose profile on a hard cast projectile is no accident. That geometry promotes reliable feeding in 1911s and modern 45 ACP platforms while the hard cast construction resists deformation, helping energy transfer to target instead of bullet failure. At +P pressures, this round delivers the velocity edge that serious .45 shooters demand—more energy downrange without sacrificing the iconic stopping power the cartridge is known for. Whether you're stocking your range bag or building a defensive load-out, Buffalo Bore's consistency and attention to performance makes this a straight choice.

Each box contains 20 rounds, packaged for reliability whether you're shooting or storing. Buffalo Bore's American manufacturing and quality control give you confidence that every round will perform as intended. If you trust your firearm, trust your ammunition—especially when your safety or success in the field depends on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Buffalo Bore 45 ACP +P ammo work in my standard 1911 or modern 45 ACP pistol?

Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman ammunition is loaded to +P pressures, which means it generates higher than standard pressure. Always check your firearm's manual to confirm it's rated for +P ammunition before use. Many modern 1911s and contemporary 45 ACP platforms are +P-rated, but some are not—this is critical for safe shooting.

Is this ammunition suitable for hunting, self-defense, or both?

The hard cast lead flat nose design and +P loading make this round versatile for both defensive carry and field use where penetration and reliable performance are priorities. However, intended use always depends on your specific needs and local laws—especially for hunting.

What's included in each box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman 45 ACP +P with a 255-grain hard cast lead flat nose bullet.

Why hard cast lead instead of jacketed bullets?

Hard cast bullets are harder than standard lead, resisting deformation and promoting deeper, more reliable penetration. This construction is particularly valued for hunting and serious defensive applications where you need consistent, controlled performance rather than rapid expansion.
