Hornady Custom 45 ACP 230 grain jacketed hollow point 9096 ammo uses a traditional-weight XTP bullet in a +P-marked cartridge. The 230-grain projectile will be familiar to 45 ACP shooters, but both its expanding nose and higher-pressure designation distinguish it from ordinary hardball.
XTP construction combines a fully protected cavity with jacket serrations, while the +P classification governs firearm suitability. Hornady rates this ammunition at 950 fps. A pistol chambered for standard 45 ACP is not automatically approved for +P; the manufacturer’s firearm guidance takes priority over assumptions based on chambering.
Before choosing this loading for defensive use, confirm +P compatibility and then establish how the actual hollow-point profile feeds through the intended pistol. The 20-round package supplies the specified ammo for those checks. Bullet weight alone will not show whether a 230-grain XTP strikes at the same point as a round-nose FMJ trainer.
