Winchester Defender 45 Long Colt 225 grain bonded jacketed hollow point S45CPDB ammo brings a 225-grain bonded jacketed hollow point to the traditional 45 Long Colt revolver chambering. The construction replaces the familiar exposed-lead flat-nose practice profile with a defensive cavity and bonded jacket. That changes the projectile's intended purpose without changing to the 45 ACP cartridge.
The 45 Colt has been chambered in revolvers of varying design and vintage, so pressure compatibility is a firearm-specific consideration. Winchester rates this ammunition at 850 fps for the 225-grain bullet. Defender bonding is meant to help the jacket and core remain joined during deformation, but it does not establish a universal impact result.
Identifying S45CPDB by its full 45 Colt designation matters because similarly sized bullet diameters occur in several non-interchangeable handgun cartridges. Its 225-grain weight also differs from many traditional 250-grain lead revolver rounds. Winchester supplies the nickel-plated Defender ammo in 20-round cartons from U.S. production.
