Winchester Big Bore .45 Colt 250 Grain Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point is a large-bore handgun load designed for .45 Colt firearms, built around a semi-jacketed hollow point bullet intended to balance penetration with controlled, delayed expansion for hunting and defensive use.
Key Features
Semi-jacketed hollow point (SJHP) design – Jacketed shank with an exposed-lead nose is designed to help control expansion while supporting deeper penetration than many rapid-opening hollow points.
Delayed-expansion intent – Bullet construction is engineered to resist over-expansion early in the wound track, helping maintain momentum through tissue and intermediate barriers.
Big-bore hunting application – 250-grain .45 Colt loading is commonly used for medium-game hunting where straight-line penetration is prioritized.
Defensive-capable format – Traditional revolver cartridge configuration supports use in .45 Colt defensive-capable platforms where applicable.
Boxed for field carry – Standard 20-round packaging suits belt, pack, or range-bag storage without bulk value-pack sizing.
