Nosler Sporting Handgun Target .45 Colt 250gr JHP ammo delivers the precision and reliability you need whether you're working up a load at the reloading bench, punching paper at the range, or hunting with a revolver. These 250-grain jacketed hollow point bullets are built on Nosler's reputation for quality control—each round is hand-inspected and polished to a bright finish before it ships. The result is ammunition that performs consistently, round after round.
The design centers on rapid expansion and predictable performance. A pure lead core is jacketed in copper alloy to maximize stability and balance, which translates directly to tighter groups. The cannelure—that ring around the bullet—serves dual duty: it locks the jacket and core together during firing and gives your reloading press a crimp point for a secure hold in the case, eliminating the bullet creep that degrades accuracy.
This 100-round pack is ideal for handloaders who demand consistency in their .45 Colt loads, whether you're feeding a single-action revolver, a Ruger Blackhawk, or a lever-action rifle chambered in the classic cartridge. Target shooters appreciate the bright polished finish and uniform bullet weight; hunters rely on the hollow point's expansion characteristics. Nosler's quality standards mean you're not buying bullets that require case-to-case sorting or visual inspection—they arrive ready to load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms can I use these .45 Colt bullets in?
These 250gr .45 Colt bullets are designed for revolvers and rifles chambered in .45 Colt, including single-action revolvers, Ruger Blackhawks, and lever-action rifles. Always verify your firearm's chamber specifications and load data before reloading.
Are these bullets suitable for target shooting?
Yes. The hand-inspected, polished finish and consistent construction make them well-suited for target work. Reloaders appreciate the uniform weight and dimension, which contribute to consistent velocity and accuracy downrange.
Do I need special reloading dies for .45 Colt with these bullets?
You'll need a set of .45 Colt reloading dies. The cannelure on these bullets allows you to crimp securely in the reloading process. Consult your reloading manual for load data specific to your firearm and powders.
What does the cannelure do?
The cannelure serves two purposes: it mechanically locks the jacket to the lead core to prevent separation during firing, and it provides a crimp ring for your reloading press, allowing a tight, secure fit in the case that prevents bullet movement and improves accuracy.
