It takes a little more skill and a little more patience to hunt with a smaller revolver round like the .45 Long Colt. But when everything clicks, you wind up getting a lot more back than what you put in!

Federal Premium makes Power-Shok Handgun ammunition for elite hunters – the kinds of guys who harvest their whitetails with an SAA, Governor, Judge, or other .45 cal wheelgun. The bullet is a simple yet effective one: a jacketed hollow point, which is robust enough to punch its way to the vitals, and designed to inflict a wider wound channel than its starting diameter alone could account for.

Federal captured the 235 grain bullet’s 850 fps muzzle velocity with the aid of a 6” test barrel (vented, to simulate the influence of a revolver’s cylinder gap). They report its 25-yard striking power at 363 ft lbs; 50 yards, 350 ft lbs; 100 yards, 326 ft lbs. Hardly the same power as a .30-06, but more than enough to get the job finished if you know what you’re doing.
