Sellier & Bellot .45 ACP ammunition (brand part no. SB45C) loads a 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullet in a brass case, giving .45 ACP shooters an expanding defensive load without the premium price of a boutique hunting line. The hollow cavity fills with tissue on impact, driving the jacket petals outward for a wider wound channel, while .45 ACP’s naturally large bullet diameter already starts with a wide wound profile even before expansion. 230 grains is the classic .45 ACP weight, giving this loading the same felt recoil and function shooters expect from full-weight .45 ammunition. For .45 ACP shooters who want dependable expansion at an accessible price, this handgun ammunition from Sellier & Bellot is built for exactly that.
