Hornady HAP Handgun Bullets in .45 Caliber, 230 grain FMJRN (Hornady part no. 451771) are built for the competitive pistol shooter who reloads high volumes of practice and match ammunition. HAP — Hornady Action Pistol — bullets are engineered across pistol calibers including 9mm and .40 S&W for the same balance, consistency, and flight stability this .45 caliber loading delivers.

This 500-count box is a practical bulk option for handloaders running high round counts through Hornady‘s reloading bullets lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HAP short for? HAP stands for Hornady Action Pistol — a bullet line built specifically for competitive pistol shooters loading high volumes of practice and match ammunition.

Is this bullet designed to expand? No — the FMJRN profile is a full metal jacket design built for consistent, accurate feeding rather than expansion, which is why it’s suited to practice and match loads rather than defensive ammunition.

Why no cannelure? Skipping the cannelure keeps the bearing surface smooth and uninterrupted, which helps with consistent seating and accuracy.
