The Buffalo Bore 32B20 Personal Defense ammunition delivers maximum stopping power in the classic 45 Auto Rim cartridge, engineered specifically for revolvers chambered in this caliber. This +P loading pushes a 200-grain jacketed hollow point bullet to velocities that significantly exceed standard 45 Auto Rim performance, creating devastating terminal ballistics for personal protection scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 45 Auto Rim ammunition that operates at relatively modest pressures, Buffalo Bore's +P loading generates substantially higher velocities while maintaining safe pressure levels for quality revolvers. The 200-grain jacketed hollow point bullet expands reliably at these enhanced velocities, creating wound channels that far exceed what standard loadings can achieve. This represents a significant performance upgrade over typical cowboy action loads or mild target ammunition commonly found in this caliber.
Key Features
- +P loading delivers maximum velocity and energy from 45 Auto Rim cartridges
- 200-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle flash in low-light situations
- Premium brass cases built for reliable extraction and potential reloading
- Compatible with revolvers chambered specifically for 45 Auto Rim cartridges
- Consistent powder charges ensure shot-to-shot velocity uniformity
- Nickel-plated cases available for enhanced corrosion resistance
Field performance demonstrates this ammunition's capability across various barrel lengths, with 4-inch barrels typically producing velocities around 900-950 fps. The jacketed hollow point design ensures reliable feeding in revolver cylinders while providing controlled expansion upon impact with soft tissue. Weather-resistant primer sealing maintains reliability in adverse conditions, making this suitable for duty carry or home defense applications where ammunition may be exposed to moisture over extended periods.
