Hornady Custom 45 ACP +P Ammo - 230 Grain XTP Hollow Point

230 Grain +P Defense Load

Hornady Custom 45 ACP +P pairs the full-weight 230 grain bullet that .45 shooters know with a higher-pressure load and Hornady's XTP hollow point. It is built for personal defense and duty carry, and it also works for range sessions where you want to practice with the same round you carry. Each box holds 20 cartridges.

Features

• 45 ACP +P Loading — The +P rating means the cartridge is loaded to higher pressure than standard 45 ACP, so use it only in pistols the manufacturer rates for +P.
• 230 Grain XTP Bullet — Hornady's XTP is a jacketed hollow point, a copper-jacketed bullet with a cavity in the nose, designed for controlled expansion while holding together to penetrate.
• 950 FPS Muzzle Velocity — The box lists 950 feet per second at the muzzle, 908 fps at 50 yards and 872 fps at 100 yards.
• 461 Ft-Lbs Muzzle Energy — That figure is for the heavy 230 grain bullet at full +P velocity.
• Brass Cases — Brass cases extract cleanly and hold up to repeated sizing and loading.
• Boxer Primed And Reloadable — A boxer primer uses a single central flash hole, so handloaders can deprime and reuse the cases.
• 20 Rounds Per Box — Each box holds 20 cartridges, enough to fill a carry gun's magazines and confirm function at the range.
• Hornady Item 9096 — The manufacturer part number is 9096, and the UPC is 090255390964.

Loading And Compatibility

This round is chambered for 45 ACP, also marked 45 Auto, the cartridge used in 1911-pattern pistols and many modern .45 semi-autos. Before carrying a hollow point, fire a few magazines to confirm it feeds reliably in your pistol. Check that your firearm is rated for +P ammunition, and if the manual says standard pressure only, choose a non-+P load.
