Federal 45 ACP 230gr Hydra-Shok – Reliable .45 ACP Defense Ammo, 900 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The Federal 45 ACP 230gr Hydra-Shok load is built for shooters who want more from their .45 ACP than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 230 grain Hydra-Shok jacketed hollow point to a rated 900 feet per second, producing about 414 foot-pounds of energy. Federal Hydra-Shok combines a notched jacket with a center-post hollow point design that has a long record of dependable defensive performance. The notched jacket promotes controlled expansion, and the center post helps the bullet expand consistently for effective energy transfer.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 45 ACP 230gr Hydra-Shok until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

The .45 ACP was designed by John Browning for the Colt 1911 and adopted by the US military in 1911, and it has been trusted for more than a century. Its large, slow bullets produce a push rather than a snap in recoil, which is one reason the cartridge remains a favorite for bullseye competition, where precise shot placement matters more than raw velocity.
