The PMC Bronze .45 ACP 185gr JHP (brand part no. 45B) bridges the gap for target shooters and hunters who get genuine satisfaction from becoming better marksmen, shot after shot. PMC documents this load’s trajectory in detail: a 900 fps, 333 ft-lb muzzle exit that settles into a 50-yard zero before dropping roughly 12 inches by 100 yards. That kind of published ballistic data lets shooters dial in their handgun with real numbers instead of guesswork. In handgun ammunition for range practice and casual defense, this is PMC’s documented .45 ACP hollow point loading.
