Underwood Ammo Hard Cast Wadcutter Handgun Ammunition 45 Colt 225gr LWC 1050 fps 20/ct

Underwood Ammo Hard Cast Wadcutter handgun ammunition in .45 Colt delivers a 225-grain lead bullet at 1050 fps from a nickel-plated brass case. This is new production, non-corrosive ammunition with boxer primers, making it reloadable for shooters who reload their own rounds. The hard cast bullet design and wadcutter profile make this a proven choice for hunters and sport shooters working with classic or modern .45 Colt revolvers and lever-action rifles.

The 225-grain wadcutter bullet generates 551 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and travels at supersonic velocity. Hard cast projectiles are known for deep penetration and consistent performance on game, and the wadcutter profile produces clean, flat-bottomed holes—useful for target work and varmint hunting where shot placement clarity matters. The solid lead construction makes this round suitable for use in suppressors, giving you flexibility if your setup includes sound mitigation.

Each box contains 20 loaded rounds, so you get two boxes' worth of ammunition for a range trip or small-game hunting session without breaking the bank. Underwood's focus on hard cast, heavy bullets appeals to reloaders and shooters who want proven ballistics and the option to handload once they've finished the factory ammunition. If you're running a .45 Colt revolver or lever-gun and want a substantial, penetrating round with a no-frills price point, this is solid ammunition to keep in the rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition safe to use in a suppressor?

Yes. Underwood designed this hard cast wadcutter round to be suppressor-safe, so you can run it through a silencer without concern.

Are the brass cases reloadable?

Yes. These are new production boxer-primed, nickel-plated brass cases that are reloadable. Once you've fired them, you can reload and use them again—great for long-term shooters and handloaders.

What is the sectional density and why does it matter?

The sectional density (SD) of this bullet is 0.157. SD describes how well a bullet's mass is concentrated relative to its diameter; it affects how a projectile penetrates. For hunting and self-defense, higher SD generally means better penetration, and this wadcutter's SD reflects its design for deep, reliable expansion on game-sized targets.

What firearms can I use this ammunition in?

This ammunition is loaded for .45 Colt (Long Colt) firearms, including single-action revolvers, double-action revolvers, and .45 Colt lever-action rifles. Always verify your firearm's caliber marking before loading any ammunition.
