HSM Bear Ammunition in 45 Colt +P delivers serious stopping power for hunting and self-defense situations where deep penetration matters. Loaded with 325-grain hard-cast lead bullets featuring a wide flat nose and gas check, this ammunition is purpose-built for larger game and demanding field conditions. Each box contains 50 rounds ready to load into your revolver or lever gun.
The hard-cast construction with gas check technology resists deformation and delivers consistent performance through heavy bone and muscle. At 1155 feet per second from a 7.5-inch barrel, these rounds generate 963 foot-pounds of energy—sufficient velocity and momentum for the deep, straight-line penetration that defines the "Bear Load" reputation. This is ammunition for hunters and shooters who prioritize terminal effectiveness over velocity.
HSM has built their reputation on quality control and honest ballistics. Their handloaded rounds are consistent and reliable, making them a trusted choice for backcountry hunters, handgun hunters pursuing large game, and shooters who reload or collect 45 Colt ammunition for specialized hunting loads. The +P designation means this ammunition is loaded to higher pressures than standard 45 Colt—verify your firearm is rated for +P ammunition before shooting.
| Cartridge | 45 Colt +P |
| Bullet Weight | 325 Grains |
| Bullet Type | Lead Wide Flat Nose with Gas Check |
| Muzzle Velocity (7.5" barrel) | 1155 fps |
| Muzzle Energy (7.5" barrel) | 963 ft-lbs |
| Rounds Per Box | 50 |
HSM Bear Ammunition is loaded to +P pressures. You must verify that your revolver is rated for +P ammunition before use. Check your firearm's manual or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure. Standard 45 Colt firearms may not be safe to use with this ammunition.
The gas check is a small copper cup fitted to the base of the bullet that prevents hot gases from eroding the bullet base during firing. This reduces leading in the barrel and helps maintain accuracy and reliability over time.
Yes. The 325-grain hard-cast bullet and wide flat nose are designed for deep penetration on game. This ammunition is often chosen by hunters pursuing larger game where reliable, straight-line penetration is a priority.
Standard 45 Colt ammunition is typically loaded to lower pressures. HSM's +P loading delivers higher velocity and energy, combined with a heavier bullet and specialized construction for maximum penetration—making it a premium, purpose-driven option rather than a general-purpose round.
