20 Rounds of 200gr XPB HP .45 Long-Colt Ammo by Barnes

The .45 Long Colt shouldn’t be confused with the .45 ACP. It dates back to 1872 and started out as a black powder cartridge used in the Colt Single Action Army revolver; today it’s often used as a magnum hunting round. It’s inspired other rounds such as the .454 Casull and, through that one, the .460 S&W Magnum. When it comes to using the .45 Long Colt for hunting it’s frequently used for game such as deer and black bear while magnum loads are capable of taking down the same types of big game the .44 Magnum manages. This cartridge has been in use for almost 150 years and its power and force are perhaps even greater today than they were in the beginning thanks to advances in the world of firearms and ammunition.

These .45 Long Colt rounds are 200 grain, making them pretty lightweight for the cartridge size. Due to their lighter weight they’re capable of reaching faster speeds and also reduce felt recoil when compared to heavier loads. These are HP rounds and begin to expand immediately upon impact while simultaneously decelerating, which serves to create a larger, more devastating wound channel while also preventing over-penetration. Each of these rounds bursts from the barrel of your gun at the phenomenal muzzle velocity of 1025 feet per second and strikes your target with stunning force at a muzzle energy of 467 foot-pounds. This ammunition is great for hunting game up to and including the size of white tail deer.

There are 20 HP rounds in this box of ammunition. These are Barnes VOR-TX rounds and are made with solid copper bullets, making them lead-free. In addition these solid copper bullets have proven in testing to deliver 25% more penetration than lead bullets and are also capable of greater expansion and weight retention. These are new-production, non-corrosive, brass-cased, boxer-primed rounds and can be reloaded. Barnes has been in business since 1932 and manufactures ammunition at their plant in Lindon, Utah.
