45 ACP – 185 gr XTP – Hornady (90904) – 200 Rounds

Hornady’s American Gunner line pairs proven XTP bullets with everyday pricing, so 45 ACP owners can afford to practice with the same round they keep in the nightstand. This listing is Hornady American Gunner 45 ACP 185 grain XTP hollow point ammo, MPN 90904, sold as 200 rounds.

Hornady rates this load at 970 fps with 386 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 185 grain bullet is lighter and faster than standard 230 grain 45 ACP, which gives a slightly flatter trajectory and a crisper recoil impulse. The XTP design controls expansion to keep the bullet penetrating after it opens. That combination makes this a capable self defense and home defense load, and it is equally useful for hunting hogs or similar game at close handgun range where legal.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 45 ACP, also known as 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Ruger, and Smith and Wesson, the Glock 21, 30, and 41, the SIG P220, the HK45 and USP45, the Springfield XD-M, and carbines such as the KRISS Vector. A common question is whether a 185 grain load cycles 1911s reliably. Most modern 1911s feed hollow points well, but some older pistols with tight feed ramps prefer round nose bullets, so test a box. Another common question is whether 185 grain hits to the same point as 230 grain. Lighter bullets often print a little lower at short range, so confirm your sights.

Hornady 90904 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 45 ACP 185 grain XTP. That is enough to test reliability, practice regularly with your defense load, and keep spare magazines filled.
