The Winchester WB45HP230X delivers consistent expansion and reliable terminal performance for .45 ACP handloaders. These 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullets feature Winchester's proven jacket design that maintains structural integrity while ensuring controlled expansion across a wide velocity range.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard ball ammunition, these jacketed hollow points utilize a deep cavity design with scored jacket walls that promote uniform expansion. The heavy-duty copper jacket extends well down the bullet shank, preventing jacket separation during expansion. Winchester's quality control processes ensure consistent weight distribution and concentricity, delivering match-grade accuracy potential in a defensive bullet design.
Key Features
- 230-grain weight optimized for .45 ACP ballistics and reliable cycling

These bullets perform consistently across velocities from 750 to 950 fps, making them suitable for both standard pressure and +P loads. The hollow point design expands reliably in ballistic gelatin while maintaining sufficient penetration for personal defense applications. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent accuracy, while hunters value the controlled expansion for medium game at handgun ranges.
