The Hornady 90281 Handgun Hunter ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance through its advanced MonoFlex bullet technology in 9mm Luger +P configuration. This premium hunting cartridge transforms standard pistols into effective hunting tools for medium game at extended ranges. Each 115-grain MonoFlex bullet features a copper alloy construction with Hornady's Flex Tip technology for consistent expansion and deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional hollow point ammunition, the MonoFlex bullet maintains 95% weight retention while creating massive wound channels through controlled expansion. The copper alloy construction eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while delivering superior penetration compared to traditional jacketed hollow points. Hornady's +P loading generates 1,150 fps muzzle velocity from a 4-inch barrel, providing flat trajectory and decisive terminal ballistics at hunting distances.
