Nosler 45 Colt 250gr JHP Sporting Handgun (100ct)

The Nosler 45 Colt 250gr JHP Sporting Handgun (100ct) is a precision-engineered bullet component tailored for handloaders seeking controlled expansion, reliable penetration, and superior accuracy in .45 Colt revolvers. This 250gr jacketed hollow point (JHP) features a robust copper-alloy jacket and engineered hollow cavity, delivering consistent terminal performance ideal for target shooting, cowboy action competition, and medium-game hunting. Each box includes one hundred polished, weight-sorted bullets ready for exact seating and high-level handloading.

Machined to a .452″ bullet diameter, the 45 Colt 250gr JHP bullet employs a classic hollow-point design optimized for smooth feeding and symmetric expansion in single-action and double-action .45 Colt revolvers. The full-metal jacket and durable core geometry ensure stable weight retention and expansion even at moderate velocities, providing reliable stopping power and shooter confidence.

Key specifications include a ballistic coefficient (G1) of approximately 0.155 and a sectional density (SD) near 0.158. With an overall length of around 0.950″, the bullet stabilizes effectively in revolver barrels measuring 4″ to 6″ in length. Its design creates deep wound channels with controlled mushrooming—ideal for medium-game, silhouette shooting, and personal defense in cowboy load configurations.

Handloaders report that the 45 Colt 250gr JHP Sporting Handgun bullet offers dependable feeding, tight grouping, and consistent expansion downrange. The hollow-point cavity and sturdy jacket support performance across both low-recoil target loads and more potent hunting or defensive handloads.

This product is strictly a bullet component—not factory-loaded ammunition. Reloaders should consult Nosler’s official load data and trusted reloading manuals when working with powders like Hodgdon HP-38, Alliant 2400, or Accurate No. 9—each selected for smooth pressure curves and consistent ignition in .45 Colt cartridges. Correct case trimming, consistent neck tension, precise seating depth, and consistent cartridge overall length (OAL) are crucial for achieving safe, accurate, and reliable handloads.

Combining Nosler’s proven JHP engineering, precision manufacturing, and reliable performance profile, the 45 Colt 250gr JHP Sporting Handgun bullet component is an ideal choice for handloaders pursuing excellence and versatility in .45 Colt platforms.
