Hornady 90971 Subsonic 45ACP 230gr XTP Hollow Point Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Hornady 90971 Subsonic 45ACP ammunition delivers reduced noise levels without sacrificing terminal performance, making it ideal for suppressed shooting applications. This specialized load features the proven XTP hollow point bullet design optimized for reliable expansion at subsonic velocities. Each cartridge maintains consistent accuracy while operating below the sound barrier to maximize suppressor effectiveness.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard velocity 45ACP loads that create sonic cracks, this subsonic ammunition stays below 1,050 feet per second to eliminate the supersonic sound signature. The 230-grain XTP bullet maintains its expansion characteristics even at reduced velocities, delivering controlled penetration and energy transfer. Hornady's precise powder charges ensure consistent performance across temperature ranges while maintaining reliable cycling in semi-automatic pistols.

Key Features

• 230-grain XTP hollow point bullet optimized for subsonic velocities
• Velocity under 1,050 fps eliminates sonic crack when suppressed
• Controlled expansion design maintains terminal performance at lower speeds
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
• Temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities in varying conditions
• Boxer primers ensure reliable ignition and enable case reloading
• 20 rounds per box with 10-box case quantities available

This ammunition excels in tactical applications where noise reduction is critical, including law enforcement operations and home defense scenarios with suppressors. The XTP bullet's controlled expansion creates reliable wound channels while the subsonic velocity reduces noise pollution at indoor ranges. Competitive shooters appreciate the consistent accuracy and reduced recoil signature that aids in faster follow-up shots.
