Description
The CorBon 45 ACP +P 165gr PowRBall load is built for shooters who want a proven 45 ACP +P round from a company that helped shape modern high-velocity handgun ammunition. Each box holds 20 cartridges loaded with a 165 grain Pow’RBall hollow point bullet rated at 1225 feet per second, producing about 550 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The Pow’RBall design places a polymer ball in the nose of a hollow point bullet, giving it a rounded profile that feeds smoothly like full metal jacket ammo and drives the hollow point open on impact.
This 45 ACP 165 grain hollow point is the fastest load in the CorBon 45 ACP lineup, pairing high velocity with a rounded nose built for dependable feeding.

Why Choose the CorBon 45 ACP +P 165gr PowRBall
- 165 grain Pow’RBall hollow point bullet
- Rated 1225 fps muzzle velocity, 550 ft-lbs energy
- Rounded nose profile for smooth, reliable feeding
- Polymer ball starts expansion even through heavy clothing
- 20 rounds per box, item PB45165/20
Built for Personal Protection
- Carry and home-defense handguns chambered in 45 ACP +P
- Shooters who want a high-velocity defensive load
- Practice sessions to confirm point of impact with your carry ammo
- Keeping one consistent lot of ammo in your carry gun and range bag
Before you trust any new defensive load, fire at least 50 to 100 rounds through your handgun to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Rotate your carry ammo every so often, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box so the cartridges stay clean and easy to identify by lot number.
Plus-P loads produce more recoil and slide velocity than standard ammo, so fire several magazines of the CorBon 45 ACP +P 165gr PowRBall to confirm reliable feeding and ejection in your pistol, and follow the pistol maker guidance on +P use in older or lightweight guns.

Why Choose CorBon 45 ACP +P Ammo
The 45 ACP is known for heavy, slow bullets, but the CorBon 165 grain Pow’RBall takes a different approach. At a rated 1225 fps and 550 foot-pounds, it moves far faster than standard 230 grain ammunition, so the hollow point opens quickly while the lighter bullet keeps recoil manageable in full-size and compact pistols.
When you compare 45 acp self defense ammo, feeding reliability matters as much as power, especially in 1911 pistols that were designed around round-nose ball ammo. The rounded Pow’RBall nose feeds much like ball ammo, and it pairs well with 1911 pistols, the Glock 21 and 30, the Smith and Wesson M&P45 and the SIG P220. Always confirm your pistol is rated for +P ammunition before use.
CorBon has built high-velocity defensive ammunition in South Dakota since 1982, when the company set out to solve a common problem: hollow points that plugged with clothing and failed to expand. That focus on real-world performance is still at the heart of every box. Corbon 45 acp +p ammo is loaded to tight standards so shot-to-shot velocity stays consistent, which helps you build confidence in the same load you train with and carry.
Concealed carriers, home-defense shooters and 1911 owners who want fast expansion with dependable feeding will find this load a strong choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 45 ACP +P, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
