Hornady Fmj Handgun Bullets .45 Cal .451" 230 Gr Fmjrn 1 500/Bulk
$362.49
Hornady FMJ handgun bullets in .45 caliber are a reliable choice for reloaders focused on target shooting and competition. Each .451" diameter, 230-grain round-nose FMJ bullet is manufactured to deliver consistent performance through semi-automatic pistols, and this bulk pack of 500 gives you quantity without compromise on quality. Whether you're loading for practice sessions or match day, these bullets are engineered to function dependably and group tight.
The full metal jacket design means no exposed lead at the nose—a detail that matters if you're feeding rounds through a competitive platform or high-volume shooting scenario. Hornady's approach to the FMJ design strips away expansion features that aren't needed for paper or steel targets, letting the bullet's geometry do the real work: deliver accuracy round after round. The swaged lead core is cold-formed from pure lead, which creates the internal balance and consistency that translates to tight shot groups and predictable flight.
The rugged jacket construction on Hornady FMJ ammunition is built to handle the stress of semi-automatic cycling without deformation or separation. You get a bullet that feeds cleanly, chambers without hiccup, and performs the same whether you're on round one or round 500 of a loading session. For competitive shooters, casual plinkers, and serious reloaders who value repeatability, this is a foundational component that won't let you down.
