The Remington Ultimate Defense 45 ACP 230gr BJHP ammunition is purpose-built for self-defense situations where reliable performance matters most. This 45 ACP round pairs Remington's proven ballistic jacket hollow-point (BJHP) bullet with a full 230-grain load—the classic standard for the cartridge. Whether you're stocking your carry gun, home-defense pistol, or keeping rounds on hand for worst-case scenarios, these rounds deliver the consistent, controlled performance that defensive shooters depend on when the stakes are highest.
The BJHP design balances two critical demands: controlled bullet expansion that transfers energy effectively to the target, and penetration deep enough to reach vital areas through common barriers. Remington's formula includes powder treatment aimed at reducing muzzle flash, useful in low-light defensive encounters where controlling your surroundings matters. The ammunition is also waterproofed, so it stays reliable whether it's been in your nightstand, vehicle, or duty rig for months.
Each box contains 20 rounds, making it easy to set aside a defensive load, top up your magazine rotation, or keep a refresh round close at hand. If you shoot 45 ACP and take self-defense seriously—whether for concealed carry, home protection, or duty use—this is ammunition engineered to function when you need it.
