The Sellier & Bellot SB45F delivers reliable terminal performance for 45 Colt firearms with its 230-grain jacketed hollow point design. This Czech-manufactured ammunition combines traditional craftsmanship with modern ballistic engineering to provide consistent expansion and penetration characteristics.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's jacketed hollow point construction features a controlled expansion cavity that opens reliably at 45 Colt velocities. The 230-grain bullet weight maintains the classic ballistic profile that 45 Colt shooters expect, while the jacketed design reduces barrel leading compared to traditional lead bullets. Quality control standards ensure consistent powder charges and primer seating across every cartridge in the box.
Key Features
- 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullet for reliable expansion
- Non-corrosive Boxer primers for consistent ignition
- Reloadable brass cases with proper headstamp marking
- Muzzle velocity approximately 750 fps from 5.5-inch barrel

This ammunition performs consistently in both single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in 45 Colt. The hollow point design makes it suitable for hunting medium game at appropriate ranges, while the controlled expansion characteristics work well for personal defense applications. The brass cases withstand multiple reloading cycles when properly sized and trimmed.
