The Hornady FMJ .45 caliber 230gr round nose handgun bullet (Hornady part no. 45177B) is a preferred choice for target shooting, plinking, and general handloading whenever consistent performance counts. One of the primary benefits of this bullet is its boat tail design, which offers a flatter trajectory and better long-range performance by raising the ballistic coefficient compared to a flat-base FMJ. These full metal jacket bullets are fully encased in a hard metal jacket except at the base, and this bulk 1,500-count package is built for handloaders who shoot high volumes of .45-caliber ammunition at the range.
