HSM ammunition in .45 Long Colt (brand part no. 45C-5-N-20) is built for hunters and woods-carry shooters who need heavy penetration from a revolver. HSM backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 300 gr bullet with a xtp hollow point design, matched to the .45 Long Colt platform shooters already run. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the HSM load built for that job.
