Comments and Reviews on Hornady Subsonic 45 ACP Auto Ammo 230 Grain XTP Hollow Point - 90971
I purchased these at a local gun shop. It was the only thing that I could find in 45 ACP. I relied on the good reputation of the XTP bullet. However, the bullet length and shape cause it to hit the leading edge of the SIG P220 magazine preventing it from fully entering the magazine. I tried this on four magazines and then gave up. Although I trust that this is quality ammunition it is not useable in my carry pistol. (These loaded fine in five different GI 1911 magazines)
