Grizzly Ammo .45 Colt +P 225-grain Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition (part no. GC45C+P3) trades the brand’s usual hard-cast penetrators for an expanding defensive bullet at serious +P velocity. Grizzly Ammo jackets this 225-grain hollow point and loads it to +P pressure, giving strong, modern .45 Colt revolvers a genuine defensive option with expansion instead of straight-line penetration. It is built for the shooter who carries a big-bore revolver for personal or property defense rather than backcountry hunting. In handgun ammunition for big-bore defense, this is the expanding counterpart to Grizzly’s hard-cast hunting lineup.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .45 Colt, loaded here to +P pressure for a meaningful velocity increase in rated revolvers.
• The bullet weighs 225 grains, lighter than Grizzly’s hard-cast hunting loads for faster velocity and quicker expansion.
• The construction is a jacketed hollow point, with the cavity engineered to expand on impact while the jacket holds the core together.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, shipped 10 boxes to the case.
• Cost runs about $1.88 per round for a dedicated +P defensive load.
• The lighter 225-grain weight trades penetration for a faster-expanding, more defense-oriented profile than Grizzly’s hard-cast hunting loads.
• This load is built for strong, modern .45 Colt revolvers rated for +P pressure rather than older or replica firearms.
• The jacketed construction keeps cost per round modest relative to bonded or monolithic defensive alternatives.
• The added velocity from +P pressure helps drive consistent hollow-point expansion at typical defensive engagement distances.
