The Hornady HAP (Hornady Action Pistol) 45 caliber bullets deliver consistent accuracy and reliable expansion for competitive shooting and training applications. These precision-manufactured projectiles feature optimized hollow point geometry that enhances feeding reliability while maintaining excellent ballistic performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard jacketed hollow points, HAP bullets incorporate Hornady's specialized jacket design that reduces barrel leading while providing superior accuracy. The controlled expansion hollow point creates consistent terminal performance across various velocities. These bullets maintain tighter groups than conventional designs, with many shooters reporting sub-2-inch accuracy at 25 yards when paired with quality powder charges.
Key Features
- 230-grain weight provides optimal momentum and energy transfer
- Precision-swaged lead core ensures consistent weight distribution
- Copper-plated jacket reduces barrel fouling and extends barrel life
- Hollow point cavity engineered for reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols
- Bulk packaging of 500 bullets reduces cost per round for high-volume shooters
- Compatible with standard 45 ACP, 45 Auto Rim, and 45 Super cartridge cases
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for consistent chamber fit
These bullets excel in competitive action pistol sports where accuracy and reliable cycling are paramount. The hollow point design feeds smoothly through match-grade barrels while maintaining the expansion characteristics needed for scoring zones. Training applications benefit from the reduced barrel wear and consistent point of impact across extended shooting sessions.
