BUFFALO BARNES 45 ACP LEAD-FREE LOW RECOIL, STANDARD PRESSURE
160 gr. BARNES TAC-XP @ 950 fps
20 Round Box

ITEM 45160LF-LR

As per numerous customer requests, Buffalo Bore is now making a couple very good/effective “low recoil” 45 ACP loads. This 160gr. all copper bullet is very light-for-caliber and @ 950 fps, generates very little free recoil.

This 160gr. Barnes TAC-XP bullet mushrooms at impact velocities as low as 750 fps. Depending on actual impact velocity and depending on how much bone, etc. is hit, this bullet, when mushroomed will penetrate roughly 14 to 15 inches in mammalian tissue. This type of penetration from an expanded bullet is one of the beauties of the Barnes all copper bullet design. Getting a lead-based bullet that is this light-for-caliber, to mushroom and then penetrate this deeply, would be impossible.

SLIDE/RECOIL SPRING WEIGHT: All of my 1911 style test pistols utilize recoil springs that are roughly 4 lbs. heavier than factory, because my 1911 style 45 pistols are all set up to run +P ammunition. These “low recoil” loads still reliably cycle my pistols, in my hands, even though their recoil springs are heavy, but keep in mind that I have large/heavy hands and forearms. A person with a light grip or lighter hands and arms may experience unreliable cycling if they use recoil springs that are heavier than factory. It is recommended that you stick with factory rated recoil springs to ensure reliable cycling with these “low recoil” loads. Speaking only of 1911 style pistols, factory ratings would be ROUGHLY 16 lbs. for 5 inch, 18 lbs. for 4.25 inch and 20 lbs. for 3.5 inch barrels. No matter the pistol model and make, stick with factory rated recoil springs.

We are utilizing flash suppressed powder in this load to ensure little to no loss of your vision should you be required to drop the hammer in low light when the criminal element is most active.

This ammunition is running pressures far below the SAAMI max of 21,000 PSI for 45 ACP and is therefore safe in all 45 ACP chambered handguns.

Buffalo Bore always uses factory/real world firearms to establish our published velocities. The use of extra-long laboratory barrels that generate unrealistically high velocities is dishonest to the customer and those extra high velocities can never be achieved in the real world, where it matters. See our test velocities below.

➤    966 fps ----- Series 70 Colt Gold Cup 1911, 5-inch
➤    972 fps ----- Series 90 Colt Gold Cup 1911, 5-inch
➤ 1,007 fps ----- H&K UPS Tactical, 5-inch
➤    940 fps ----- S&W Scandium 1911PD (Commander), 4.25-inch
➤    896 fps ----- Series 80 Colt LW Officers Model, 3.5-inch
➤    869 fps ----- S&W 325PD (revolver), 2.5-inch
