Hornady - Hollow Point - 230 Grain 45 ACP Ammo - 20 Rounds

Designed in 1905 by John Moses Browning to duplicate the ballistics of the .45 Long Colt that was being phased out of US military service, the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge entered military service in six years later with the iconic Colt 1911. Since then, the .45 served the next seventy years in US service as well as other nations, including Norway. Domestic law enforcement agencies have also found the .45 ACP to be an ideal round. While its "man stopping" capabilities have been somewhat exaggerated the .45 has never the less become one of the most comforting self defense rounds by virtue of the large caliber and low velocity that does not over penetrate the target of anything behind it. Hornady's 230 jacketed hollow point bullet has a muzzle velocity of 950 fps and 460 ft pounds of energy. The jacketing offers improved accuracy while the hollow point insures bullet expansion within the target. It is a very definition of a defense round.

If you buy this ammo, you'll receive a single box of Hornady 45 Auto ammunition that's ready for your pistol or carbine.

Hornady ammunition is prized for its quality and reliable performance under extreme situations of duress. For hunting or self-defense, shooters find that it delivers without question. Brass cases are fully reloadable with boxer primers, but this 20 round lot is made not for target shooting. It is for the "what if" scenario.
