Winchester W45CST Silvertip 45 Colt 225gr JHP Ammo 20rd Box

Winchester's W45CST Silvertip ammunition delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for serious 45 Colt applications. The 225-grain jacketed hollow point design combines Winchester's proven Silvertip technology with the power of the classic 45 Colt cartridge.

What Makes This Different

The Silvertip jacket features Winchester's engineered hollow point cavity that initiates expansion upon impact while maintaining structural integrity. Unlike standard hollow points that may over-expand or fragment, the Silvertip design controls expansion diameter while driving deep into the target. This ammunition achieves consistent velocities around 960 fps from a 7.5-inch barrel, delivering approximately 460 foot-pounds of energy.

Key Features

• 225-grain jacketed hollow point with Silvertip technology for controlled expansion
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
• Premium powder charge delivers consistent velocities and accuracy
• Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
• Factory-fresh ammunition with quality control testing
• Compatible with all firearms chambered in 45 Colt/.45 Long Colt
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

This ammunition performs reliably in both revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered for 45 Colt. The moderate velocity makes it suitable for cowboy action shooting while providing adequate terminal performance for hunting medium game or personal protection. The nickel-plated cases extract cleanly even after extended shooting sessions, and the consistent powder charges contribute to repeatable accuracy across multiple firearms platforms.
