The Remington HTP .45 Auto 230 gr JHP is a centerfire handgun ammunition load designed around a jacketed hollow point bullet for defensive and duty-style applications. It pairs a heavy-for-caliber .45 Auto projectile with brass cases and performance-focused loading intended to support reliable cycling and consistent terminal performance in common .45 ACP pistols.
Key Features

Brass case Reloadable brass casing supports conventional resizing and reloading practices.
Centerfire ignition Standard centerfire primer system designed for reliable ignition and compatibility with typical semi-automatic pistol platforms.
Defensive-oriented load Built for consistent function and performance rather than high-volume target economy loading.
