This .45 Colt load from Barnes is an excellent option forColt Single Action Army or Taurus Judge owners looking to take advantage of 21stcentury developments in hollow point bullet design. The Barnes XPB bullet,unlike most on the market, contains no lead. Instead, it uses a solid copperdesign that penetrates deeper and expands dramatically in its target.
This amazing performance does come at an increased cost dueto the price of raw copper. As a result, Barnes JHPs are best suited forapplications such as hunting or home defense that take full advantage theproven lethality of the design.
These cartridges use a 200 grain .45 Colt bullet and achievemuzzle velocities of approximately 1025 feet per second. Each box holds 20rounds in Boxer-primed reloadable brass cases.
In business since 1939, Barnes has a long history ofintroducing disruptive technologies to the ammunition market. Fred Barnes’first design was a hunting bullet that used copper tubing instead of gildingmetal as its jacket. The Barnes Bullet was one of the first custom bulletsavailable in the US. After several ownership changes, the company came into thehands of Randy and Coni Brooks in 1974. The new owners worked directly withFred Barnes to restore the Barnes brand and introduced the company’s firstall-copper bullet in 1979.
