Description
The CorBon 45 Colt 165gr JHP load is built for shooters who want a proven 45 Colt round from a company that helped shape modern high-velocity handgun ammunition. Each box holds 20 cartridges loaded with a 165 grain jacketed hollow point bullet rated at 1100 feet per second, producing about 443 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. CorBon designs its JHP bullets to open reliably, even after passing through heavy clothing, and to transfer energy quickly for dependable stopping power.
This 45 Colt 165 grain hollow point is loaded to standard pressure and rated from a 4 inch barrel, so it suits the carry-size revolvers many 45 Colt owners rely on.

Why Choose the CorBon 45 Colt 165gr JHP
- 165 grain jacketed hollow point bullet
- Rated 1100 fps muzzle velocity, 443 ft-lbs energy
- Designed for reliable expansion through heavy clothing
- Reloadable brass cases with boxer primers
- 20 rounds per box, item SD45C165/20
Built for Personal Protection
- Carry and home-defense handguns chambered in 45 Colt
- Shooters who want a high-velocity defensive load
- Practice sessions to confirm point of impact with your carry ammo
- Keeping one consistent lot of ammo in your carry gun and range bag
Before you trust any new defensive load, fire at least 50 to 100 rounds through your handgun to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Rotate your carry ammo every so often, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box so the cartridges stay clean and easy to identify by lot number.
Because the 45 Colt is chambered in so many different revolvers and rifles, confirm your point of impact with the CorBon 45 Colt 165gr JHP before you carry it. Fixed-sight revolvers in particular may shoot higher or lower with a light, fast bullet than with the heavier loads they were regulated for.

Why Choose CorBon 45 Colt Ammo
The 45 Colt is one of the oldest cartridges still in wide use, and this CorBon load gives it a modern defensive role. The light 165 grain JHP is rated at 1100 fps and 443 foot-pounds, far faster than traditional 250 grain cowboy loads, so the hollow point has the speed it needs to expand while recoil stays manageable.
When you compare 45 colt self defense ammo, standard-pressure loads like this one offer the widest compatibility. It is a good match for modern double-action revolvers such as the Smith and Wesson Governor and Model 25, the Ruger Redhawk and Super Redhawk, and the Taurus Judge when loaded with 45 Colt. Always follow your firearm maker guidance for older revolvers.
CorBon has built high-velocity defensive ammunition in South Dakota since 1982, when the company set out to solve a common problem: hollow points that plugged with clothing and failed to expand. That focus on real-world performance is still at the heart of every box. Corbon 45 colt ammo is loaded to tight standards so shot-to-shot velocity stays consistent, which helps you build confidence in the same load you train with and carry.
Revolver owners who carry or keep a 45 Colt for home defense and want a lighter, faster defensive load will find this a practical choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 45 Colt, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
