Atlanta Arms Elite Defense .45 Colt 225-grain JHP ammunition (brand part no. 45C225T/D) brings a modern jacketed hollow point to one of the oldest defensive revolver cartridges still in daily use. Atlanta Arms, marketed under the ACME Specialty Cartridge line, loads this .45 Colt round with a 225-grain hollow point built to expand on impact rather than simply punch through like the flat-point lead loads the cartridge was originally designed around. The lighter bullet weight plays to .45 Colt’s strength: a big-bore projectile that transfers energy rather than relying purely on velocity. For revolver shooters who carry .45 Colt for home defense or woods protection, this handgun ammunition updates a 19th-century cartridge with modern bullet technology.
