When you are packing a heavy-duty wheelgun or a fast-handling lever action, Barnes Pioneer .45 Colt ammunition delivers the uncompromising terminal performance you need in the woods or for personal defense. Built specifically to handle the unique demands of lever rifles and revolvers, this hard-hitting load pairs modern bullet technology with classic western stopping power.
At the center of this round is the 200-grain all-copper XPB projectile. Engineered for deep penetration and massive, reliable expansion, this lead-free bullet carves massive wound channels through heavy bone and tough hide without breaking apart. Leaving the muzzle at a blistering 1,190 feet per second and packing 629 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, it delivers flat trajectories and devastating energy transfer downrange.
Barnes crafts each load using high-grade brass casings that feed smoothly, cycle reliably, and withstand high pressures in tube magazines and cylinder chambers alike. Non-corrosive centerfire Boxer primers ensure crisp, instantaneous ignition every time you drop the hammer. Whether you are tracking big game in dense brush, riding trails, or backing up your primary hunting rig, this versatile .45 Colt ammunition gives you total confidence in high-stakes situations. Packaged to keep your cylinder full and your tubular magazine loaded, it's the modern answer for classic lever guns and revolvers.
