250 Grain +P .45 ACP Hard Cast Flat Point Bear/Predator Defense Ammo

Friends

Due to the success of the 10mm bear ammo run, I have done another run of heavy duty .45 ACP outdoors oriented/bear defense ammo after multiple requests from guys who own .45s and not 10s.
This ammo is a 250 grain hardcast flatpoint, with a large/wide flat meplat.

This is a +P load and averages 925 FPS from 5" 1911s that were used for testing.

That is essentially a .45 Colt in an Auto Pistol.

It also was run through my Glock 21, 4506 and HK USP .45.

A lot of .44 Special/.45 Colt revolver shooters shoot a load that is a duplicate of this. This was taking the same sized bullet in similar velocity range and putting it an auto pistol. It is similar in concept to the "Linebaugh Load" that is so popular with knowledgeable handgun hunters.

Here is an excerpt from John Linebaugh, speaking of shooting a .45 Colt 260 grain slug at 900 FPS:


"I have personally taken about 10 antelope and 1 mule deer with a .45 Colt. My boys have taken around 6 antelope and 5 mule deer with their .45 Colts. They use a 4 3/4" Colt SA and the handload is a 260 Keith cast at 900 fps. This load will shoot lengthwise of antelope and mule deer at 100 yards."

Essentially the heavy .45 ACP loads (250 grain bullet at 925 FPS) are following the same thought process, in a different platform, for those who prefer to carry a semi auto.










This is a load I carry frequently in Grizzly and Black Bear (as well as other predator) country.

I have 7 100 round boxes ready to go today.

For those who will ask, I prefer a 20# spring in my Glock 21, and 1911 when running these. They were designed to run with fresh (not worn out) standard weight springs in guns in proper working order, but I still use a heavier spring, as I tend to shoot this load a fair bit.


The price includes Shipping/Insurance is $110 shipped for 100 rounds, $220 for 200 rounds, $330 for 300 and so forth.

I take Venmo, USPS Money order, or checks (once cleared by the bank). I do not take paypal.

Please post up how many boxes you would like, followed by a PM.




Again, I have 7- 100 round boxes ready to go.


***From here forward the ammo will be shipping in 50 round traditional boxes, rather than the 100 round Berry's and MTM plastic boxes previously used. Every now and then breakage was occurring due to the extreme handling by the shippers. Ammo will still be sold 100 rounds at a time, just shipped in more traditional heavier duty, impact resistant boxes.



You have to be 21 since it is handgun ammo. Will only ship to places where legal and it is your responsibility to know your local laws. No shipping to restricted states or jurisdictions. CONUS only, and I do not ship to, MA, DC, CT, CA or other locations with restrictions.

Thanks SGT!

Fortunately I have some pretty good references with our friends here on the Fire.

Yes you do!

I’ll take a 100 rounds. PM to follow.

6-100 round boxes left!


And just so you guys can get a laugh at my expense.


I sent this text to an absolutely knockout beautiful gal that was going to be joining me on a hike in Grizzly country. She is a Montana girl but has a serious fear of bears.

It was reference an attack that happened down the road a bit from where I am at. A touron (tourist moron) got banged up.


Talk about having the Mother of all Typos on your phone when texting a beautiful woman. LOL.

ammo looks good !

picking up another SA 45 this morning

make a helluva bear gun w/13 rd mags......(:

recoil manageable ?

Tiikanut

I run the loads though My G21 and USP and find it to be stout but manageable. I always recommend a heavier recoil spring, as it helps tame things down with +P loads. Both in my 1911s and G21 I run a 20# spring. Makes fast shooting easier.

And I agree, 13 round mags make for a great bear gun.

One of the reasons I like my G21.

Good Morning!

You seem inclined to relegate my MG to the safe this year with your incessant peer predsure! Furthermore, you have made no mention of the Sig320 in your testing data, so I feel compelled to be a test case
I'm good for 100......PM to follow.

5 boxes left!
