The Buffalo Bore .45 Auto Rim +P 200gr JHP Ammunition (Buffalo Bore part no. 32B20) was added to the line by popular demand from revolver shooters who wanted a hotter loading for the cartridge. Buffalo Bore rates it at 1,200 fps and 639 ft. lbs. and loads it in Starline brass with a flash suppressed powder. The maker describes the pressure as the equivalent of +P+ .45 ACP, also known as .45 Super. This item was designed for expansion, giving up less than half the penetration of its sibling, item 32A.
