Hornady Hap 45 Caliber (0.451'') 200Gr Jacketed Hp 1800/Box
$485.23
The Hornady HAP 45 caliber jacketed hollow-point bullet is a reliable, cost-conscious choice for handloaders preparing ammunition for 45 ACP pistols and revolvers. HAP stands for Hornady Action Pistol — Hornady's dedicated line of handgun projectiles engineered for consistent feeding, accuracy, and performance in semi-automatic and revolver platforms. At 200 grains with a .451" diameter, these bullets deliver the mass and expansion characteristics serious 45 shooters expect, whether you're loading for target practice, self-defense, or competition. This box contains 1,800 rounds' worth of components, giving you bulk savings and fewer reorder trips to the bench.
Jacketed construction protects the lead core and reduces fouling in your barrel compared to cast or plated alternatives, while the hollow-point design promotes controlled expansion on impact. Hornady's quality control and consistent dimensions mean less sorting and sizing work — your press time stays productive. For reloaders who shoot 45 ACP regularly and want dependable, no-frills bullets without premium pricing, HAP is the workhouse choice.
Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a 1911, a modern polymer-frame 45, or a revolver, these bullets pair well with standard 45 ACP brass and powders. Stock up and keep your ammo pipeline flowing at the range or in the field.
