Underwood Hard Cast Black Cherry Handgun Ammunition .45 ACP(+P) 255gr FN 925 fps 20/ct

Underwood Hard Cast Black Cherry .45 ACP(+P) ammunition delivers serious penetration for handgun hunters and backcountry defenders who need reliability when it counts. Each 20-round box contains 255-grain hard cast flat nose rounds loaded to 925 fps—a deep-penetrating option built for game that demands it, from wild hogs to bears and dangerous predators that require a cartridge that won't fail in thick muscle and bone.

The flat nose bullet design is purpose-built to maintain nose-forward orientation and cut straight through dense mass where round nose projectiles would deflect or tumble. Hard cast construction means zero expansion—the bullet stays intact from entry to exit, delivering the penetration required for larger, tougher game where a hunting round needs to perform reliably and completely. The +P loading pushes velocity and energy for the .45 ACP platform without requiring a custom firearm.

Underwood loads this round in nickel-plated brass, which resists corrosion better than standard brass and feeds smoothly across different action types. The nickel plating also makes cleanup easier if you reload, and the casings won't tarnish during storage or when exposed to moisture and metal contact—a practical advantage for ammo stored in field conditions or a truck box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this ammunition designed for?

This is a woods defense and hunting load designed for larger game and dangerous predators. The hard cast flat nose bullet prioritizes penetration and won't expand, making it suitable for situations where you need to shoot through heavy cover or dense muscle and bone to reach vital areas.

Will this .45 ACP(+P) round work in all .45 ACP firearms?

The +P designation indicates elevated pressure. While many modern .45 ACP firearms can handle +P loads, always check your firearm's manual or markings to confirm it is rated for +P ammunition before shooting it. When in doubt, consult the manufacturer or a gunsmith.

Can I reload the nickel-plated brass casings?

Yes, nickel-plated brass can be reloaded. The nickel plating makes the cases easier to clean and resize, and they resist tarnishing better than standard brass during storage between reloads.

How is hard cast ammunition different from jacketed rounds?

Hard cast ammunition uses solid lead bullets (cast, not plated) that don't expand on impact. Unlike jacketed hollow points designed to expand and dissipate energy, hard cast bullets maintain their shape to achieve deep, penetrating performance—ideal for heavy game or situations where you need to shoot through obstacles.
