This .45 ACP load (9112) delivers controlled expansion and dependable penetration for medium game hunting. The 200 grain XTP hollow point is engineered for balance. It expands reliably. At the same time, it retains mass to drive deeper than typical defensive hollow points. As a result, it performs well on medium-sized game when paired with proper shot placement and realistic distances.
Hornady rates this load at 900 fps muzzle velocity and 360 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That combination favors consistency and control. In addition, the XTP bullet uses a drawn gilding metal jacket with precise serrations. Therefore, expansion occurs in a controlled and repeatable manner. This is not a fragile hollow point. Instead, it is built to maintain structure and penetrate effectively before expanding.
The 200 grain weight sits in a practical range for .45 ACP hunting applications. It offers a balance between recoil and terminal performance. Consequently, shooters can maintain control while still delivering meaningful energy. Moreover, this load runs reliably in a wide range of .45 ACP platforms, including semi-automatic pistols and carbines. That versatility adds value for hunters using different setups.
Packaging is efficient and organized. Each box contains 20 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 200 rounds. This format supports structured practice, sight verification, and hunting use. You can open individual boxes while keeping the rest sealed for storage. In addition, Hornady uses brass casings and Boxer primers, making the ammunition reloadable and widely compatible.
For the buyer, the purpose is clear. You get a proven XTP hunting bullet. You get controlled expansion with dependable penetration. And you get a 200-round case that supports consistent preparation and field use.
