Sellier & Bellot .45 ACP XRG-D Ammo FAQ:
Solid copper hollow points typically offer better weight retention and more consistent expansion compared to traditional lead-core hollow points. This results in more reliable performance across different barrier materials and depths.
While exact penetration can vary depending on the target, this ammunition is designed to meet FBI penetration standards of 12-18 inches in ballistic gelatin. This provides a good balance of penetration and expansion for self-defense situations.
While it should function in most modern .45 ACP firearms, it's always recommended to test any self-defense ammunition in your specific firearm for reliability. Some older or tightly toleranced firearms might require a brief break-in period.
Sellier & Bellot designs their ammunition to perform consistently across a wide temperature range. This load should maintain its reliability and performance characteristics in both hot and cold environments.
While primarily designed for self-defense, the accuracy and consistency of this ammunition make it suitable for some competitive shooting applications. However, competitors should check their league's rules regarding ammunition type.
Yes, this ammunition should function well in compensated or ported barrels. However, as with any ammunition, it's recommended to test for reliability and point of impact shifts in your specific firearm.
The 165-grain weight should not affect magazine capacity compared to standard .45 ACP loads. Most magazines designed for .45 ACP will accommodate their full rated capacity with this ammunition.
The SCHP design typically offers excellent expansion, often creating a wide wound channel. Actual performance can vary based on specific conditions, but it's generally on par with or exceeding many other premium defensive loads.
