Hornady Custom 45 ACP +P 230gr XTP Hollow Point Ammo 20rd Box

The Hornady 9096 Custom 45 ACP +P ammunition delivers enhanced stopping power through its proven 230-grain XTP hollow point design. This premium defensive load combines increased velocity with controlled expansion for maximum terminal performance in critical situations.

What Makes This Different

The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet features a precisely engineered hollow point cavity that ensures reliable expansion across various barrier materials. Unlike standard pressure loads, the +P designation provides approximately 10% higher velocity while maintaining manageable recoil. The swaged lead core and gilding metal jacket create consistent weight retention and penetration depth that exceeds FBI protocol standards.

Key Features

• 230-grain XTP hollow point bullet with controlled expansion design
• +P pressure rating delivers 850 fps muzzle velocity for enhanced performance
• Brass cases with boxer primers allow for reliable reloading
• Precision-manufactured to SAAMI specifications for consistent chambering
• 20 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Compatible with all 45 ACP firearms rated for +P pressures
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and aid extraction

Field testing demonstrates consistent 12-18 inch penetration in ballistic gelatin with 65-75% weight retention after expansion. The load functions reliably in full-size 1911 platforms, compact carry pistols, and modern striker-fired designs. Temperature stability maintains performance from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for year-round carry and duty applications.
