HRNDY 454CASULL 300GR JHP 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Custom line in .454 Casull is aimed at handgun hunters and serious field shooters who need a round capable of handling large, heavy game at close to moderate range. The XTP Mag bullet at the core of this load is purpose-built for the extreme pressures and velocities that .454 Casull generates — its thicker jacket and harder construction relative to the standard XTP are what allow it to hold together and expand reliably at the high end of the velocity window rather than fragmenting or over-expanding.

At 300 grains, this projectile retains substantial sectional density, which translates to deep, straight penetration through heavy muscle and bone — the kind of terminal behavior that matters when hunting animals where you need to reach vital organs through a lot of material. The 1,650 fps muzzle velocity produces 1,813 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, putting this load firmly in the range where .454 Casull earns its reputation as one of the most capable revolver cartridges available for hunting.

Hornady loads this ammunition on brass cases with primers and propellants selected specifically for handgun performance and consistency. Each box contains 20 rounds. Cases are brass, making them viable for reloading once fired, which matters to shooters who work through significant volume at this price point. This is a hunting-oriented load, not a practice round, and it performs accordingly.
