Hornady 45 Cal 185gr HAP (Bulk / OEM)
Modeled after the legendary XTP bullet design, the Hornady 45 Cal 185gr HAP (Bulk) bullets are further refined into the perfect competition projectile. These bullets are engineered to provide unmatched performance and precision. While the XTP bullets incorporate serrations to aid in controlled expansion and terminal performance, Hornady has removed these serrations in the HAP¨ bullets. This design choice results in a sleek, balanced projectile with a protected nose, which aids in consistent and reliable feeding in auto-loading pistols. This makes them an excellent choice for competitive shooters looking for accuracy and reliability without the need for expansion.
The HAP¨ bullets feature jackets with industry-leading concentricity, which means that the jacket is perfectly aligned with the core, minimizing imperfections and ensuring a perfectly stable flight path. The precision swaged cores are crafted with care, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and performance for every shot. Hornady’s meticulous attention to detail in the design and manufacturing process guarantees that these bullets perform consistently, shot after shot.
BUILT FOR COMPETITION
Expansion isn’t a concern for action pistol shooters, which is why Hornady eliminated the expansion-aiding skives typically used in other bullet designs. By removing these, the result is a bullet that delivers precision accuracy, sleek appearance, and dependable performance. Whether you’re participating in competitive shooting events or practicing at the range, the 45 Cal 185gr HAP (Bulk) bullets are engineered to give you the best performance possible for the task at hand. The design allows for flawless cycling through auto-loading pistols, making them a reliable choice for high-volume shooters.
NO EXPOSED LEAD
A jam during a competitive event can cost a shooter the match, which is why the Hornady 45 Cal 185gr HAP (Bulk) bullets are designed with a copper jacket that protects the nose of the bullet. The jacket ensures smooth feeding into the chamber and avoids issues like lead fouling, which can disrupt feeding and performance. By using a copper jacket, Hornady not only protects the lead core but also ensures that the bullets can be used in both high-volume and competition settings without worrying about performance degradation due to exposure to the elements or barrel wear.
SWAGED CORE
The core of the HAP¨ bullet is cold swaged from pure lead, delivering exceptional consistency and balance. Swaging is a precise method that allows the lead core to maintain a uniform density, resulting in a bullet that is perfectly balanced and stable in flight. This process is key to ensuring pinpoint accuracy, shot after shot. Whether you’re making precise shots at long distances or competing in fast-paced events, the HAP¨ bullet’s swaged core ensures smooth, reliable performance with every pull of the trigger.
With their reliable performance and sleek design, the Hornady 45 Cal 185gr HAP (Bulk) bullets are perfect for competitive shooting, high-volume practice, or recreational shooting. Designed to provide consistency and precision, they are an ideal choice for shooters who demand nothing but the best. Whether you’re looking to perfect your shooting technique or make sure you have the most reliable ammunition for a competition, Hornady’s HAP¨ bullets will deliver the performance you need.
