A: Hello again Jim! I just heard back from Barnes. Here is what they said: "We shot our new Pioneer line 45 Colt with the 200 gr XPB bullet from an 18” barrel and it achieved 1190 fps. From a 6” test barrel (no cylinder gap) we obtained 850 fps. If looking at this in a linear way that would equate to 28.33 fps per 1” of barrel; loss or gain."

A: Thanks for reaching out Wilfredo! If you see ammo called "45 Colt" or "45 Long Colt," it is absolutely useless for a 45 ACP (aka 45 Auto) pistol. 45 Long Colt is strictly for revolvers and lever-action rifles, whereas the 45 ACP is designed for semi-automatic firearms. They're two completely different cartridges. Stick to 45 ACP and you'll be fine!

A: Hello again Bob! I just heard back from Henry. Just as I thought, there is no factory loaded 45 LC ammo on the market that your Henry isn't designed to fire safely.

A: Yes sir, Barnes loads this ammo for SAA fans and riflemen alike. It should function just fine in your Cattleman!

A: Thanks for reaching out James! This ammo is safe to fire in either of those firearms (if they're chambered for 45 LC, needless to say). I just asked Barnes to give me this ammo's pressure – I'll update this comment as soon as I hear back from them.
UPDATE: This ammo is loaded to 13,500 psi – just under SAAMI's max spec 14,000 psi. It's safe to fire in an SAA or any other 45 LC firearm.

A: This cartridge is loaded to a conventional pressure by Barnes and ought not to give any difficulty to a Cimarron capable of chambering it.

A: This cartridge and many other 45 LC cartridges can be used in those chambered for 454 Casull, but not the other way around.

A: Hello Ron,
These 200gr. VOR-TX rounds by Barnes in .45 Long Colt would work great in your Henry rifle as long as it is chambered in .45 Colt/Long Colt. These make excellent hunting rounds in .45 LC.

A: Hello Roger,
These 200gr. VOR-TX rounds by Barnes in .45 LC would make great hunting rounds. The VOR-TX projectile was specifically designed for hunting applications. They have excellent penetration and expansion. They are also lead-free as well.
