The Hornady Bullets 45 Cal .452 - 200gr FTX 50ct is purpose-built ammunition component engineered for law enforcement, military, and defensive shooting applications where barrier penetration and controlled expansion are non-negotiable. These 200-grain projectiles represent the gold standard for .45 caliber platforms, delivering the stopping power professionals demand with the reliability that matters when lives depend on performance. Whether you're reloading duty ammunition, training for service pistol qualification, or developing defensive loads, these bullets provide the terminal performance characteristics that have earned Hornady's reputation among armed professionals worldwide.
Each round features Hornady's patented Flex Tip® technology, a solid copper design that eliminates lead exposure during reloading and handling while maintaining the exceptional ballistic coefficients critical for velocity retention downrange. The .452-inch diameter ensures precise chamber fit and consistent pressure curves across your reload data, while the .149 sectional density delivers deep penetration through intermediate barriers—a decisive factor in real-world threat scenarios. The .145 ballistic coefficient keeps energy transfer predictable at all practical defensive distances, enabling shooters to maintain shot placement discipline without compensating for wind drift or velocity loss.
These bullets are ideal for reloaders working with .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, and .460 S&W platforms who prioritize component consistency and terminal performance. The 50-round-per-box configuration offers economy without sacrificing quality control, and the 25-box case format suits both high-volume range operations and professional armory stocking practices. Compatible with all standard .452-inch reloading dies and brass, these projectiles deliver sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards from quality service pistols, confirming the precision necessary for duty-grade ammunition production.
