The Buffalo Bore Ammunition Buffalo-Barnes “Strictly Business” load in .45 Colt with a 225-grain Barnes VOR-TX XPB projectile is a centerfire revolver cartridge positioned by the manufacturer within a performance-focused lineup.

Cartridge: .45 Colt

The .45 Colt (often labeled .45 Colt, .45 LC, or .45 Long Colt depending on manufacturer convention) is a well-established revolver cartridge with broad historical use. Ammunition performance in .45 Colt can vary significantly depending on:

  • Firearm type and chamber dimensions

  • Barrel length and cylinder gap (for revolvers)

  • Load intensity and pressure category

  • Bullet design and weight

Users should confirm that their firearm is chambered for .45 Colt and consult manufacturer documentation regarding acceptable load levels, especially for performance-oriented ammunition.

Projectile: 225gr Barnes VOR-TX XPB (Lead Free)

This load uses a 225-grain Barnes VOR-TX XPB bullet and is described as lead free. XPB is commonly associated with all-copper (or copper-based) expanding bullet designs. Lead-free projectiles may be chosen for reasons such as:

  • Compliance with lead-restriction regulations in certain areas

  • Reduced lead exposure in some handling contexts

  • Consistency of bullet construction for specific applications

As with any expanding projectile, results can vary based on velocity, barrel length, and impact conditions.

“Buffalo-Barnes” and “Strictly Business” Naming

The “Buffalo-Barnes” labeling indicates a collaboration/combination concept involving Buffalo Bore loading and Barnes projectile technology, while “Strictly Business” is a manufacturer line designation. Because exact performance can be influenced by firearm configuration and environmental variables, users commonly evaluate:

  • Reliability of ignition and cycling (as applicable to the platform)

  • Accuracy and point-of-impact in the intended revolver

  • Consistency across multiple rounds and lots

  • Recoil characteristics relative to other .45 Colt loads

Packaging and Quantity

  • Rounds per box: 20

  • Boxes per case: 12

  • Total rounds per case: 240

This format supports inventory control, lot tracking, and standardized storage.

Compatibility and Safety Considerations

For safe use:

  • Confirm the firearm is explicitly chambered for .45 Colt

  • Verify any manufacturer guidance on load intensity (standard vs. heavy/“Ruger-only” style loads, where relevant)

  • Inspect cartridges for damage or corrosion before use

  • Discontinue use and consult a qualified professional if abnormal pressure signs or function issues occur

Because .45 Colt firearms vary widely—from modern heavy-frame revolvers to traditional-pattern designs—load suitability should be confirmed for the specific firearm model.

Storage and Handling Notes

Recommended practices include:

  • Store in a cool, dry location

  • Keep ammunition in original packaging when possible for lot identification

  • Avoid exposure to oils, solvents, and moisture

  • Do not repeatedly chamber the same round (in platforms where applicable), as bullet setback can affect pressures
