Item # 292586 Style BFF-3G/20 UPC 651815003276 Condition New Manufacturer [Buffalo Bore](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/buffalo-bore) Units Per Box 20 Caliber 45 LC Weight 1.17 lb As always, Buffalo Bore tests and publishes velocities using real-world, over-the-counter firearms. This ensures customers know how the ammunition performs in practical scenarios—not in laboratory conditions. We believe that publishing velocities from extra-long test barrels produces misleadingly high numbers that do not reflect real-world performance. **Test Velocities – Heavy .45 Colt +P Load:** - 1,533 fps – Freedom Arms Model 97, 5.25-inch barrel - 1,505 fps – Ruger pre-2005 Large Frame Vaquero, 5.5-inch barrel - 1,855 fps – Marlin Model 1894 Cowboy, 20-inch barrel This long-for-weight Barnes X-style bullet penetrates deeply for its weight, making it suitable for big game hunting—from whitetail deer to elk. The crimp groove placement by Barnes allows for a short overall cartridge length (OAL) of 1.572 inches. This enables compatibility with short-cylinder revolvers like the Freedom Arms Model 97. However, due to the power of this load, it should be used **only** in the following firearms: - All large-frame Rugers (Blackhawk, Redhawk variants chambered in .454 Casull or .45 Colt, pre-2005 Vaqueros) - Colt Anaconda - All Freedom Arms revolvers chambered in .454 Casull or .45 Colt - Dan Wesson revolvers - Winchester and Marlin Model 1894 lever actions - All falling block actions made of modern steel - TC Encore - All Henry lever actions - Handi Rifle - All modern Model 1892 lever guns **Important Note:** These heavy .45 Colt +P loads are *not* intended for the New Model Vaquero (small frame). Please consult the technical article titled *“Ruger Revolvers and .45 Colt +P Ammunition”* for more details. For additional information on compatibility with Model 1892 variants and copies, refer to the technical article on *“1892s and Their Variants.”* **Note:** This ammunition is intended for use *only* in firearms that are specifically rated for +P pressure. Do not use in guns not designated for +P loads, as doing so may result in damage or injury. ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
