Hornady FMJ-RN .45 caliber 230-grain ammunition delivers the consistency and reliability competitive shooters and serious handloaders demand. These full metal jacket rounds are engineered for semi-automatic pistols, combining a rugged copper jacket with a swaged lead core to maintain the tight tolerances that separate match-winning loads from the rest. Whether you're loading for IPSC competition, keeping your skills sharp at the range, or building reliable defensive carry rounds, these .45 bullets give you the performance foundation to load with confidence.
The FMJ-RN design—round nose profile with full metal jacket coverage—eliminates expansion variables, letting you focus on what matters in precision shooting: accuracy and consistency. Hornady's approach to jacket construction and core manufacturing means these bullets won't deform on impact or separate mid-flight like thinner-jacketed competitors. The swaged core process ensures each round-nose bullet delivers balanced flight characteristics and pinpoint accuracy downrange.
At 230 grains, this is the classic weight for .45 ACP handloading. The 100-count box makes it convenient to load a few hundred rounds—enough to keep your brass fed and your trigger time productive. If you're reloading .45 for match shooting, training, or building ammunition that shoots where you aim, Hornady FMJ-RN bullets give you the component quality to make it happen.
