Item #3H is a standard pressure .45 Colt load that is safe for use in any and all firearms chambered in .45 Colt and/or .454 Casull. With an overall length of 1.572 inches, it is short enough to feed and fire reliably in all .45 Colt platforms.
Buffalo Bore publishes velocity data based on real-world, over-the-counter firearms to give customers accurate expectations of performance. We do not use extra-long laboratory test barrels, which produce artificially high velocity readings and mislead shooters who rely on their carry pistols in real-life scenarios.
