 BUFFALO BORE 45 ACP +P OUTDOORSMAN
255 gr. Hard Cast FN @ 925 fps/M.E. 484 ft lbs
20 Round Box

ITEM 45-255

45ACP +P ammo is externally/dimensionally identical to 45 ACP ammo and can be fired in any 45 ACP firearm that is in normal operating condition. However, the greater pressures and power of the +P ammo will give you greater slide velocity and if you are going to shoot more than a box or two of +P ammo, you should consider replacing your recoil spring with a Wolf Spring that gives roughly 4 to 6 lbs more spring weight than factory stock springs. A shock buffer might also be a good addition although it is not too necessary if you use the stronger spring.

The below velocities were fired from my personal Colt Gold Cup 1911 (5-inch)

➤ 1,180 fps -- 45185 (185gr. Jhp)
➤ 1,078 fps -- 45200 (200gr. Jhp)
➤    979 fps -- 45230 (230gr. Jhp)
➤    981 fps -- 45230FMJ (230gr. Fmj-FLAT NOSE)
➤    960 fps -- 45255 (255gr. HARD CAST-FLAT NOSE)

As always, with Buffalo Bore Ammunition, we use real world firearms to give real-world data and results. Laboratory test barrels tell you little about what kind of speed you can expect from your stock firearm.

All our 45 ACP+P loads utilize flash suppressed powders so that you will not be blinded by your own gunfire should you need to fire in the dark when the criminal element is at work.

The three JHP loads are designed for defense against humans, while the two non-expanding loads are designed to shoot through large shoulder bones or the skull on a black bear. These non-expanding bullets also work well if you need to shoot through cover like car doors or stick frame walls.

I put a 20lbs Wilson combat spring in a 1911 Tisas and let me just say it chewed this ammo without issue. recoil was much more manageable than the 325 and 255g loads in my 45colt. This will be a good wilderness carry up to black bears I feel.

With more and more black bears moving into my suburban area a magazine of the 255 gr hard cast for my subcompact .45 gives me a good feeling, even if my hands still hurt.

I tested these out on my YouTube channel "Jep's Outdoor Adventures" and was very impressed. They penetrated about 40-ish inches (5 to 6 water jugs) with my simulated bone barriers.

They had no deformation, they retained their weight well and had good in-line penetration.

As showcased in the video; the chronograph numbers came out to an average of 958.66 Fps and that translates to an average of: 520 ft/lbs of force per shot & a Taylor K.O of: 15.

In summary: I highly recommend this as a good loadout for a sidearm and I believe that it should work on anything about 800Lbs or so. Good job Buffalo Bore!

i have used 45 ball ammo to finished downed caribou on several occasions. i wasnt impressed. a couple days ago my son dropped a pretty large bull. as we got close it attempted to get back to its feet. my son shot it right behind the shoulder with this round and it just dropped flat. very impressive for a 45acp.

I carry my M&P 2.0 45ACP full-size when hiking and camping in the woods. I live in black bear county and everyone keeps telling me I need a 10mm. But now that I have my 45 loaded with BB 255 grain +P Hardcast FN I no longer feel under gunned.

Best woods 45 ACP load you can buy. The 45 Colt is supposed to be more than enough for woods carry. It pushes a 255 grain bullet at 860 FPS. This BB 45 ACP round pushes the same bullet at 960 FPS. Plus it's hard-cast instead of soft lead, so it won't deform. It out-penetrated all other FMJ and FMJFP rounds I tested. It's also extremely accurate. I suggest an 18.5 lb. spring for best control in a full-sized 1911.
Awesome round.
