- Bullet Type: Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP)
The 0.451″ diameter is the standard for the .45 ACP cartridge, ensuring proper fit and reliable feeding in .45 caliber firearms.
At 185 grains, this bullet weight is considered a lighter option compared to the more common 230 grain .45 ACP loads. Some key points:
- The 185gr weight produces higher muzzle velocities than heavier 230gr bullets, resulting in flatter trajectories.
- This lighter bullet weight generally generates less recoil impulse and muzzle rise compared to 230gr loads.
- The reduced weight can translate to slightly less bullet penetration through heavy barriers.
The Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) bullet design offers several benefits:
- Controlled expansion on impact for optimal wound channels and energy transfer.
- The hollow point promotes reliable and consistent expansion compared to full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets.
- The jacket helps maintain accuracy and penetration while preventing excessive deformation.
Many modern self-defense .45 ACP loads utilize the 185gr JHP bullet as a versatile and effective option. The lighter weight provides manageable recoil while still delivering good penetration and expansion characteristics for personal protection.
Shooters may also appreciate the 185gr JHP as a practice and target round. The reduced recoil can make it more pleasant to shoot than heavier .45 ACP loads, without sacrificing too much in terms of ballistic performance.
The .45 caliber 185 grain Jacketed Hollow Point bullet with a .451″ diameter strikes a nice balance between velocity, recoil, and terminal ballistics. It remains a popular choice for both self-defense and general shooting applications with the .45 ACP cartridge.
