CorBon Pow’RBall .45 ACP +P 165gr (brand part no. PB45165) solves one of the oldest hollow-point problems with a simple idea: cap the cavity with a polymer ball. CorBon builds the bullet from a gilding metal jacket over a lead core shaped into a patented V-cavity, then crimps a round polymer ball over the mouth to improve feeding and aerodynamics. On impact, the ball delays expansion just long enough for the bullet to penetrate before it is pushed aside, exposing the V-shaped cavity for full, reliable expansion, and it keeps clothing from plugging the hollow point along the way. Loaded to +P pressure, this handgun ammunition is built for shooters who want a defensive .45 ACP round that feeds like ball ammo and expands like a hollow point.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .45 ACP +P, loaded to a higher pressure than standard .45 ACP.
• The bullet weighs 165 grains, balancing velocity and energy for defensive use.
• Construction pairs a gilding metal jacket over a lead core, shaped into the Pow’RBall’s patented V-cavity.
• A round polymer ball caps the hollow point, improving aerodynamics for flatter, more consistent flight.
• The rounded polymer tip profile improves feeding reliability in semi-auto pistols, much like ball ammunition.
• On impact, the polymer ball delays expansion just long enough for the bullet to penetrate before exposing the lead V-cavity.
• The polymer ball also prevents clothing from plugging the hollow-point cavity, so it still expands as designed.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to train and carry with the same defensive load.
• Cases ship 500 rounds per case, for shooters who want to buy in bulk.
• Cost works out to about $1.30 per round, reasonable pricing for an engineered defensive bullet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the polymer ball on the Pow’RBall bullet do? It caps the hollow-point cavity, improving feeding and aerodynamics, then delays expansion on impact until the bullet has penetrated enough to expose the lead V-cavity.

Does clothing clog the hollow point on this bullet? No, the polymer ball keeps clothing and other material from plugging the cavity, so the bullet still expands as designed.

What does +P mean for this .45 ACP load? +P indicates CorBon loads this round to a higher pressure than standard .45 ACP for increased velocity and energy.
