Buffalo Bore’s Standard Pressure Strictly Business ammunition in .45 Colt (brand part no. 3E20) loads a 255-grain gas checked soft cast bullet built to be substantially more powerful than typical modern .45 Colt loads while staying safe to fire in any .45 Colt firearm. Buffalo Bore developed this loading specifically because so much of today’s .45 Colt ammunition is loaded soft, and this round is built to be a heavy loading that still stays within standard SAAMI pressure rather than requiring a Ruger- or Thompson Center-only rating. The gas check protects the cast bullet’s base from high-pressure gas cutting, letting the soft cast alloy deliver deep, straight-line penetration without the cost of a jacketed bullet. For .45 Colt owners who want real power without needing a specialty firearm, this handgun ammunition is built to run in anything chambered for the cartridge.
