Hornady Custom 45 ACP 200gr XTP Hollow Point Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Hornady Custom 45 ACP ammunition delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration with its proven 200-grain XTP hollow point design. This premium defensive load combines Hornady's match-grade brass cases with carefully selected propellants to maximize the XTP bullet's terminal performance across various barrel lengths.

What Makes This Different

The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet features a precise hollow point cavity with strategic serrations that ensure reliable expansion at velocities from 800 to 1,500 fps. Unlike standard ball ammunition, the XTP design creates controlled mushrooming that transfers maximum energy to the target while maintaining structural integrity. The swaged lead core and gilding metal jacket are mechanically bonded to prevent separation during expansion.

Key Features

• 200-grain XTP hollow point bullet with controlled expansion design
• Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
• Muzzle velocity of 900 fps from 5-inch barrel
• Muzzle energy of 360 foot-pounds for effective stopping power
• Strategic hollow point serrations ensure expansion across velocity ranges
• Swaged lead core bonded to gilding metal jacket prevents separation
• 20 rounds per box for range sessions and defensive loadouts

This ammunition performs consistently in both full-size 1911 pistols and compact carry guns, maintaining accuracy standards suitable for defensive applications. The 200-grain bullet weight provides excellent momentum retention through barriers while generating manageable recoil in most 45 ACP platforms. Testing demonstrates reliable feeding in various pistol designs, from traditional single-action to modern striker-fired systems.
