HSM Bear Load .45 Colt ammunition (part no. 45C7N) loads a 325-grain Wide Flat Nose for hunters and outdoorsmen who need maximum penetration on big or dangerous game. HSM hand-loads short production runs using premium bullets from Hornady, Sierra, and Berger rather than mass-producing generic projectiles. The hard-cast lead bullet holds its shape on impact, driving a full-diameter wound channel and deep, straight-line penetration rather than expanding. Brass-cased and 50 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through everything from carry pistols to range and hunting handguns. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this .45 Colt loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
