The Speer TMJ Handgun Bullets .45 Auto 185gr TMJ-SWC (brand part no. 4473) bring Speer’s Total Metal Jacket construction to a semi-wadcutter profile for .45 ACP handloaders. Speer TMJ Handgun Bullets are an affordable yet extremely powerful choice, manufactured with Uni-Cor technology in which molten lead is poured directly into the jacket, completely encasing the lead core in a flawless jacket. Based on this design, the bullet base does not deform under pressure, these bullets will not foul ported recoil compensators, and they are swaged twice for a uniform heel and consistent diameter. At 185 grains, this lighter semi-wadcutter is a common choice for competition and high-volume .45 ACP handloads.
