Key Specs:

• Bullet Diameter: 0.451 inches
• Bullet Weight: 200 grains
• Bullet Type: Jacketed Flat Point (JFP)

The 0.451″ diameter matches the standard .45 ACP cartridge, ensuring proper fit and reliable feeding in .45 caliber firearms.

At 200 grains, this bullet weight falls between the common 165gr and 230gr .45 ACP options. Some key points:

• The 200gr weight produces moderate muzzle velocities, balancing penetration and recoil.
• Compared to heavier 230gr bullets, the 200gr weight generates slightly less felt recoil.
• The lighter construction compared to 230gr bullets promotes slightly faster muzzle velocities.

The Jacketed Flat Point (JFP) bullet design offers some unique characteristics:

• The flat nose profile can promote reliable feeding and improved accuracy over rounded bullet shapes.
• The flat point provides more surface area on impact, potentially increasing energy transfer.
• The jacket maintains the bullet’s structural integrity for consistent penetration.

Historically, the .45 caliber JFP bullet has been favored by some law enforcement and military users for its balance of stopping power and manageable recoil. The flat nose design can also make the bullet more suitable for certain specialized purposes like breaching doors.

In the modern era, premium defensive JHP loads have largely supplanted flat point bullets for personal protection. However, the .45 ACP 200gr JFP remains an interesting and versatile option for target shooting, plinking, and some specialty applications.

Shooters looking for a middle-ground .45 ACP load that delivers good penetration with relatively mild recoil may find the 200gr JFP a compelling choice. Its performance characteristics can make it an engaging and effective training round as well.

The .45 caliber 200 grain Jacketed Flat Point bullet with a .451″ diameter offers an alternative to the more common 230gr and 165gr .45 ACP bullet weights. Its unique design and moderate specifications make it a niche but still noteworthy option for .45 caliber shooters.
