Fiocchi 45 ACP 230gr XTP Hollow Point – 25rd Box

Description

The Fiocchi 45 ACP 230-grain XTP line represents a proven pairing of Italian craftsmanship with American ballistic innovation. Each round features the renowned Hornady XTP bullet, engineered with precise serrations that divide the projectile into symmetrical sections. This design initiates controlled expansion even at modest velocities, creating that critical balance between terminal performance and penetration depth that matters in real-world applications.

What Makes Fiocchi XTP Different

This ammunition stands out because it combines quality components across the board. The 230-grain weight sits at the heavier end of the 45 ACP spectrum, favoring penetration and momentum delivery. Loaded to 900 feet per second, the round produces 355 foot-pounds of energy, making it suitable for both personal defense and hunting medium-sized game. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion during everyday carry and provide improved feeding consistency in semi-automatic pistols compared to standard brass finishes.

Reliable Expansion Performance

Hornady's XTP bullet design has built its reputation through consistent real-world performance across velocity ranges. The hollow point cavity is protected during feeding by the gilding metal jacket, ensuring reliable function in magazine-fed guns. Upon impact, the pre-cut jacket initiates rapid expansion without fragmenting, delivering devastating terminal ballistics without the overpenetration concerns that come with some defensive loads. This controlled behavior makes the round versatile enough for both defensive scenarios and hunting applications where you need predictable results.
