Hornady 90904 American Gunner 45 ACP 185gr XTP HP Ammo 20rd Box

The Hornady 90904 American Gunner delivers proven XTP hollow point performance in 45 ACP at a price point that makes regular training affordable. This factory-fresh ammunition combines Hornady's legendary XTP bullet technology with reliable brass cases and consistent powder charges for dependable feeding and expansion.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard ball ammunition, the 185-grain XTP hollow point expands reliably at 45 ACP velocities while maintaining deep penetration. The controlled expansion design creates larger wound channels than FMJ rounds while reducing over-penetration risks. Hornady's quality control ensures consistent velocities within 50 fps, delivering the accuracy needed for both defensive applications and precision shooting.

Key Features

• 185-grain XTP hollow point bullet with proven expansion characteristics
• Optimized powder charge produces 1000 fps muzzle velocity from 5-inch barrel
• Reloadable brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• Non-corrosive primers ensure reliable ignition in all conditions
• Factory crimped for consistent chamber pressure and accuracy
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Compatible with all 45 ACP firearms including 1911s and modern pistols

Range testing shows consistent 2-inch groups at 25 yards from quality 1911 platforms, with reliable feeding through both single-stack and double-stack magazines. The 185-grain weight cycles smoothly in shorter-barreled carry guns while generating sufficient energy for defensive use. Law enforcement agencies have documented reliable expansion in ballistic gelatin tests, with the XTP design maintaining structural integrity through heavy clothing barriers.
