Hornady Custom 45 ACP Ammo 200 Grain Hornady XTP Jacketed Hollow Point Box of 20

Chambered in 45 ACP and loaded with the 200 grain Hornady XTP jacketed hollow point, this Hornady Custom round delivers 900 feet per second muzzle velocity and 358 foot-pounds of energy. The XTP bullet was designed from the ground up for self-defense and law enforcement applications where controlled expansion and terminal penetration matter more than paper punching. Six serrations divide the projectile into symmetrical sections, weakening the copper jacket enough to allow expansion at low velocities while preventing core separation at high chamber pressures. A swaged core and drawn jacket lock together through a cannelure that also allows the case mouth to crimp securely — critical when feeding from magazines under recoil.

Performance at a Glance

Each box contains 20 rounds of new-production, non-corrosive ammunition built on reloadable brass cases. Every round is hand-inspected at the factory before packaging. This load sits in the mid-velocity range for 45 ACP ammo, balancing recoil management with penetration depth — a common choice for full-size 1911 platforms and double-stack .45s where follow-up shot speed matters as much as first-round stopping power.
