Hornady 45 Cal 300gr HP

Hornady 45 Cal .458 300gr HP bullet offers proven performance for hunters and reloaders who demand deep penetration and high weight retention. Designed with an exposed lead tip and a carefully engineered secant ogive profile, this bullet delivers controlled expansion and consistent accuracy even at extended distances. It’s an excellent option for large game applications where reliable terminal performance is crucial.

With a caliber diameter of .458″, this heavy-hitting projectile is built to perform across a wide range of velocities, making it suitable for various .45-caliber platforms, including lever guns and single-shot rifles. Each bullet is loaded with features that enhance reliability and increase on-target energy transfer.

INNER GROOVES
Strategic internal grooves weaken the upper portion of the jacket to ensure uniform expansion, even at longer ranges or lower velocities.

TAPERED JACKET
Hornady controls the jacket thickness throughout the bullet to promote reliable expansion without fragmentation, regardless of the target or impact speed.

ONE-PIECE CORE
Unlike two-piece designs, this solid lead core stays together, improving weight retention and helping form large, deep wound channels.

CANNELURE
A mid-body cannelure supports secure crimping and helps prevent bullet movement during recoil or feeding, especially in tubular magazines.

INTERLOCK® RING
Hornady’s signature InterLock ring is embedded in the core, mechanically bonding the jacket and core together during expansion for added structural integrity.

The Hornady 45 Cal 300gr HP is an outstanding choice for reloaders seeking rugged, high-performance bullets for their big-bore rifles.
