Hornady 9153 Handgun Hunter 460 S&W Mag 200gr MonoFlex Ammo

The Hornady 9153 Handgun Hunter ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance for big game hunting with powerful revolvers. This 460 Smith & Wesson Magnum load features the advanced MonoFlex bullet technology that expands reliably across a wide velocity range while maintaining deep penetration on large game animals.

What Makes This Different

The MonoFlex bullet construction uses a solid copper alloy body with Hornady's patented Flex Tip technology that initiates consistent expansion upon impact. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment or fail to expand at lower velocities, the MonoFlex maintains structural integrity while creating massive wound channels. This design delivers 95% weight retention and penetration depths exceeding 18 inches in ballistic gelatin testing.

Key Features

• 200-grain MonoFlex bullet with solid copper construction for maximum weight retention
• Flex Tip technology ensures reliable expansion from 1,200 to 2,400 fps
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding and extraction
• Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light hunting conditions
• Crimped primer pockets prevent primer migration under heavy recoil
• Ballistic coefficient of .175 maintains velocity and energy downrange
• Lead-free construction complies with non-toxic ammunition regulations

This ammunition excels in hunting scenarios where deep penetration and controlled expansion are critical for clean, ethical kills on large game. The 460 S&W Magnum cartridge generates approximately 1,900 fps muzzle velocity and 1,600 foot-pounds of energy from typical 8.375-inch barrels. The MonoFlex bullet maintains expansion characteristics across temperature extremes and performs consistently in wet or dry conditions.
