Frequently Asked Questions
Is CorBon .45 Long Colt +P safe to use in my revolver or lever-action rifle?
+P ammunition operates at higher-than-standard pressure levels, so it's critical to verify that your firearm is rated for +P loads before shooting this ammunition. Most modern, quality .45 Colt revolvers and lever-action rifles from reputable manufacturers are built to handle +P pressures, but you should always consult your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer directly to confirm compatibility. Older or antique firearms chambered in .45 Colt are generally not suitable for +P loads.
How does the CorBon JHP bullet expand, and why does it matter for self-defense?
CorBon's JHP bullet features both internal and external serrations along with a soft lead hollow cavity, which work together to initiate reliable expansion upon impact. This controlled expansion increases the bullet's diameter significantly, transferring energy efficiently and reducing over-penetration risk. The result is an average penetration depth of 9–15 inches in ballistic gelatin — within the FBI's recommended window for effective terminal performance in self-defense scenarios.
Can I use this ammunition for hunting, and what game is it appropriate for?
Yes, the CorBon .45 Long Colt +P 200gr JHP is well-suited for hunting medium-sized game such as whitetail deer and wild hogs, particularly when fired from a lever-action carbine that can maximize its velocity potential. The combination of a 200-grain bullet at 1,100 fps delivers significant energy on target. For larger or dangerous game, a heavier hard-cast bullet load may be more appropriate, but for medium game at close to moderate ranges, this load performs admirably.
