The Buffalo Bore 3H20 Buffalo-Barnes Strictly Business delivers maximum terminal performance in 45 Colt with Barnes VOR-TX XPB lead-free technology. This premium hunting and self-defense ammunition combines Buffalo Bore's hot loading expertise with Barnes' proven all-copper expanding bullet design for devastating effectiveness on large game and dangerous threats.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 45 Colt loads that often underperform, this ammunition generates true magnum-level velocities while maintaining safe pressures in modern firearms. The Barnes VOR-TX XPB bullet expands to nearly twice its original diameter while retaining 99% of its weight, creating massive wound channels that standard lead bullets cannot match. Buffalo Bore's precise powder charges push this 225-grain projectile to velocities that exceed factory specifications by 200-400 fps.
Key Features
- Barnes VOR-TX XPB all-copper hollow point bullet for maximum expansion and weight retention
- 225-grain projectile optimized for deep penetration on large game animals
- Lead-free construction meets California and other restricted hunting area requirements
- Buffalo Bore's +P loading generates 1,350 fps muzzle velocity from 7.5-inch barrels
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and extract cleanly
- Compatible with Ruger Blackhawk, Freedom Arms, and other modern 45 Colt revolvers

Field testing demonstrates consistent 4-6 inch groups at 50 yards from quality revolvers, with the all-copper construction maintaining accuracy across temperature extremes. The high-velocity loading makes this ammunition effective for wild boar hunting, dangerous game backup, and serious personal protection scenarios where maximum stopping power is required. Rain, humidity, and temperature variations have minimal impact on ballistic performance due to the sealed primer and quality case construction.
