Buffalo Bore's 32C20 Personal Defense ammunition transforms the classic 45 Auto Rim cartridge into a formidable self-defense round with +P loading and precision-engineered 225-grain wadcutter bullets. This specialized ammunition delivers enhanced stopping power while maintaining the reliability shooters expect from Buffalo Bore's premium manufacturing standards.
What Makes This Different
The +P loading significantly increases muzzle velocity and energy compared to standard 45 Auto Rim ammunition, while the wadcutter bullet design creates clean, full-caliber wound channels. Buffalo Bore's heavy-for-caliber 225-grain projectile provides deeper penetration than lighter alternatives, meeting FBI penetration standards. The wadcutter profile cuts precise holes in targets, making this load equally effective for defensive applications and competitive shooting.
Key Features
- +P loading generates approximately 200 fps higher velocity than standard pressure rounds
- 225-grain wadcutter bullet creates full-diameter wound channels
- Hard cast lead construction ensures consistent expansion and penetration
- Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle flash in low-light conditions
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding reliability
- Compatible with all firearms chambered for 45 Auto Rim
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications with strict quality control
Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy and reliable function across various revolver platforms. The wadcutter design excels in both defensive scenarios and bullseye competition, where clean scoring rings are essential. This ammunition performs reliably in temperature extremes and maintains consistent ballistics shot after shot. The hard cast construction resists deformation during feeding and firing cycles.
