The Hornady 9151 Handgun Hunter ammunition delivers maximum terminal performance for large game hunting with powerful handguns. This premium 454 Casull cartridge features a 200-grain MonoFlex bullet engineered for deep penetration and controlled expansion on tough game animals.
What Makes This Different
The MonoFlex bullet construction sets this ammunition apart from conventional jacketed hollow points. Built with a solid copper alloy body and Hornady's Flex Tip technology, it maintains structural integrity through heavy bone while expanding reliably at handgun velocities. The bullet retains 95% of its original weight compared to 60-70% retention typical of lead-core bullets.
Key Features
- 200-grain MonoFlex bullet with solid copper construction for maximum weight retention
- Flex Tip technology initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps
- Deep penetration capabilities exceed 18 inches in ballistic gelatin
- Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
- Premium propellant delivers consistent velocities across temperature ranges
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for serious hunters
- Optimized for revolvers and single-shot pistols chambered in 454 Casull
Field performance data shows this load achieves approximately 1,625 fps from a 7.5-inch barrel with exceptional accuracy potential. The MonoFlex bullet maintains expansion down to 1,400 fps, making it effective at extended handgun ranges. Hunters report reliable performance on elk, moose, and dangerous game where deep penetration through heavy muscle and bone is critical.
