Buffalo Bore 45 Colt +P 325gr Lead Flat Nose Outdoorsman Ammo

The Buffalo Bore Ammunition 3A20 Outdoorsman delivers maximum stopping power for dangerous game encounters and backcountry defense scenarios. This +P loaded 45 Colt cartridge pushes a heavy 325-grain lead flat nose bullet to velocities that transform the classic cowboy cartridge into a legitimate big-bore hunting round. Built for situations where failure means serious consequences.

What Makes This Different

While standard 45 Colt loads typically generate around 900 fps with heavy bullets, Buffalo Bore's +P loading achieves approximately 1,325 fps from a 7.5-inch barrel. The 325-grain lead flat nose bullet design maximizes tissue disruption and penetration compared to lighter jacketed alternatives. This loading approaches 44 Magnum performance levels while maintaining the 45 Colt's reputation for manageable recoil and reliable feeding.

Key Features

• 325-grain lead flat nose bullet for maximum energy transfer
• +P loading generates approximately 1,325 fps from 7.5-inch barrels
• Hard cast lead construction ensures deep penetration on large game
• Flat nose design creates larger wound channels than round nose bullets
• Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications
• 20 rounds per box, 12 boxes per case (240 total rounds)

Field performance data shows this loading generates over 1,200 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, making it suitable for black bear, wild hog, and other dangerous game within appropriate ranges. The heavy bullet maintains velocity and energy downrange better than lighter alternatives. Hunters report reliable expansion and penetration on medium to large game animals. The hard cast lead construction resists deformation when encountering bone or heavy muscle tissue.
