CorBon Pow'RBall 45 ACP 165 grain polymer tip PB45165 ammo places a rounded polymer tip over an expansion-oriented cavity in a relatively light 165-grain 45 ACP bullet. It is not a conventional 230-grain hardball cartridge, even if its smooth nose resembles a familiar feeding profile.
A 45 ACP pistol that works with round-nose FMJ may still deserve a separate function check with specialized defensive ammunition. The Pow'RBall design addresses the bullet's nose geometry by using the insert rather than leaving an open hollow point exposed. CorBon specifies 1,225 fps for this ammo, a published speed distinct from a verified feeding or terminal test.
For a 45 ACP shooter comparing defensive bullets, the identifying feature is the light 165-grain polymer-tipped projectile, not the ordinary brass case. This ammo comes as 20-round boxes for evaluating function and sight regulation in the particular pistol.
