Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns CCI Blazer .45 LC

I don't reload, and due to price have been shooting the CCI Blazer loads out of my .45: 200 gr. JHP @ 900 fps. Is this too tame for a deer load? Any suggestions for other factory ammo that won't "break my bank"?

Thanks,

That'll work JUST fine; esp. since those are Speer GoldDot "cosmetic" seconds in there for the JHPs.

I like a heavier bullet for deer and hogs. That GD 200 JHP should do the job though, if you are fairly close.

I have drilled a couple of piggys with a Blazer 240 grain LSWC at about the same speed, and they did a good job. Dead is dead, regardless of the way it was accomplished.

Thanks for both replies. I also have access to some affordable Bullseye ammo: 250 gr. Hornady XTP Hollow Points.....Better deer load?
