Built for shooters who want factory consistency that rivals handloaded ammunition, this Hornady Custom load pairs the proven XTP bullet with precision loading practices. Every round is hand-inspected before packaging to meet Hornady's demanding quality control standards. You get 900 fps of muzzle velocity and 360 ft-lbs of energy from a 200 grain jacketed hollow point that expands reliably across a wide velocity range.
The XTP bullet design uses strategically placed serrations that divide the projectile into symmetrical sections, allowing it to expand reliably even at the lower velocities typical of 45 ACP. This controlled expansion is paired with a gilding metal jacket that ensures proper hollow point function and reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols. The 200 grain weight hits a sweet spot for this caliber, offering a balance between penetration and expansion without excessive recoil.
Hornady manufactures most of their brass in-house and selects every other component to meet unusually high standards for reliable feeding, corrosion resistance, and consistent pressures. Powders are loaded to provide optimal velocity consistency from lot to lot, and each primer is carefully matched to the individual load. This attention to detail means the ammunition feeds smoothly, maintains point of aim, and performs consistently from round to round. The brass cases are reloadable for those who handload.
Whether you're running accuracy drills at the range, practicing your defensive technique, or storing reliable self-defense ammunition, this load delivers the accuracy and consistency Hornady is known for. The moderate velocity keeps recoil manageable while the XTP bullet design ensures the round performs its intended purpose reliably.
The 200 grain offering gives you faster velocity (900 fps vs. around 850 fps for standard 230 grain loads) while maintaining the controlled expansion characteristics of the XTP bullet. This middle weight is a solid compromise for shooters who want a bit more velocity without the complexity of +P rated ammunition. The 200 grain also tends to generate slightly less recoil, which can help with follow-up shot accuracy.
Yes. Hornady Custom uses reloadable brass cases that are manufactured to high standards for consistent case dimensions and reliable primer pocket fit. Many reloaders prefer Hornady brass for its quality and consistency. Just follow standard reloading practices and load data for the 200 grain XTP bullet.
The XTP hollow point is designed for controlled expansion and reliable performance across a range of velocities. At 900 fps, the 200 grain XTP expands readily while maintaining good penetration. That said, your choice of self-defense ammunition should be based on how it functions in your specific firearm and your local preferences.
Hand inspection catches issues like improper bullet seating, inconsistent overall length, or primer seating problems that can affect accuracy and reliability. This Hornady Custom process ensures you get factory ammunition with the consistency typically associated with carefully handloaded rounds.
