This 45 colt loading is “Standard Pressure”, which means it is safe to use in any/all 45 colt firearms in normal operating condition, yet it is a “HEAVY” load and is much more powerful than ordinary 45 colt ammunition.
This 45 Colt load was designed specifically for defensive use against humans. Buffalo bore developed this bullet to be soft (6 BHN) enough to mushroom at impact speeds around 750 fps, yet they wanted it hard enough (pure lead is 4 BHN) not to lead a normal revolver barrel. This bullet accomplishes both requirements. Additionally, it is gas checked, so it would be virtually impossible to lead even rough barrels or forcing cones. Depending on impact velocities, expect about 18 inches of penetration in flesh and bone, which will give ample penetration, even at bad angles to disable even very large men.
This bullet was also designed with a special crimp groove and the case mouth is heavily crimped and this bullet will NOT jump crimp in the lightweight alloy revolvers, provided you rotate the unfired rounds and thus do not expose unfired rounds to the recoil of more than about 10 firings in super lightweight revolvers. In heavier large frame all steel revolvers, I doubt the bullet would ever jump crimp, even if exposed to the recoil of dozens or hundreds of firings.
Buffalo Bore use a flash suppressed powder so you won’t become blinded by your own gunfire in the likely event you drop the hammer in a low-light situation.
