HSM 45C7N20 Bear Load Hunting 45 Colt 325 gr Wide Flat Nose (WFN) 20 Per Box/ 20 Cs

HSM Bear Load ammunition in 45 Colt is a heavy-for-caliber handgun round purpose-built for hunting and defense in remote backcountry where encounters with dangerous game demand reliable stopping power. This 45 Colt bear load pairs a 325-grain hard-cast, gas-checked lead bullet with temperature-stable powders and quality brass cases—components HSM has been refining since introducing the Bear Load line in 2011. Each 20-round box delivers the consistency and performance serious hunters and backcountry travelers expect when carrying a classic revolver into bear country.

The 325-grain bullet weight is significantly heavier than standard 45 Colt offerings, designed to penetrate deep and deliver the kind of terminal energy needed when a bear encounter turns serious. Hard-cast construction resists deformation in bone and heavy hide, while the gas-check base helps maintain velocity and accuracy downrange. This isn't plinking ammo—it's purpose-engineered for a specific, high-stakes job.

If you trust a 45 Colt revolver as your sidearm in grizzly country or remote hunting territory, HSM Bear Load gives you ammunition matched to that mission. The loaded, ready-to-fire format means you're running tested ammo from a maker that understands what "bear ready" actually means.
