250 Grain +P .45 ACP Hard Cast Flat Point Bear/Predator Defense Ammo (100 RND)

Velocity:

5" 1911 925 FPS

This heavy duty .45 ACP +P punches way above its weight class. At 925 FPS from a 5" barrel, it approximates what the original black powder .45 Colt loads did, back when men were still issued such guns as sidearms.

A customer tested some of these, shooting into 20% gel and they exited the back of 36"s of gel blocks.

That is essentially original .45 Colt specs in an auto pistol.

The ammo was tested/developed using a 1911, Glock 21, 4506 and HK USP .45.

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SUBCOMPACT PISTOLS AND NON +P RATED PISTOLS.

A lot of .44 Special/.45 Colt revolver shooters shoot a load that is a duplicate of this. This was taking the same sized bullet in similar velocity range and putting it an auto pistol. It is similar in concept to the "Linebaugh Load" that is so popular with knowledgeable handgun hunters.

Here is an excerpt from John Linebaugh, speaking of shooting a .45 Colt 260 grain slug at 900 FPS:

"I have personally taken about 10 antelope and 1 mule deer with a .45 Colt. My boys have taken around 6 antelope and 5 mule deer with their .45 Colts. They use a 4 3/4" Colt SA and the handload is a 260 Keith cast at 900 fps. This load will shoot lengthwise of antelope and mule deer at 100 yards."

Essentially the heavy .45 ACP loads (250 grain bullet at 925 FPS) are following the same thought process, in a different platform, for those who prefer to carry a semi auto.

I personally carry this load in Black Bear and Grizzly country frequently.

** I personally use a 20# recoil spring with this load when shooting more than a magazine or two of it.
