45 GAP Bullets
45 GAP Bullets for Reloading
The 45 GAP is Glock’s first attempt to introduce a new cartridge to the commercial market. You don’t need to guess which cartridge the 45 GAP was meant to improve upon, and indeed the 45 GAP matches the 45 ACP’s power while reducing the chance of a case neck blowout.
The original max bullet weight for the 45 GAP was 200 grains, which is loaded to a higher pressure than 45 ACP to give it equivalent performance. The 45 GAP’s max pressure is 23,000 psi, about nine percent more than the 45 ACP, to make this possible. Since the 45 GAP is a smaller round, its greater pressure is achieved solely via more powerful powders. The 45 GAP has since been determined capable of firing 230 grain bullets, and load data for 150, 160, and 185 bullets are available as well. The 45 GAP’s bullet is .451 in diameter, so finding the correct bullets for reloading is as simple as finding 45 ACP component bullets.
The 45 GAP is a little shorter than its predecessor, with a .755 inch long case instead of .898 inches. Glock intended this to permit the design of smaller handguns. You could theoretically trim down 45 ACP brass to make 45 GAP brass, but their lengths alone aren’t the only thing that make the two cases different. You’re better off loading once-fired 45 GAP brass or investing in brand new cases.

I had all the components needed to reload except bullets. I had never purchased anything from Widners but, they were the only firm that had 45 cal 230 gr bullets, also from a company with whom I had no
experience, in their inventory. In desperation, I placed my order. My order arrived in only a few days and there’s been no discernible difference in my shot groups, at the range, using these bullets. I now have a new source, Widners, and an acceptable mfg.Review by Cpts2668 (Posted on 11/23/2020)

Berry's .452 Diameter Bullets - 230 Grain Hybrid HP – 500 Count (Not Ammo)
$87.85Cost Per Bullet 17.6¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 230 Grain Bullet Caliber 45 ACP, 45 GAP Quantity 500 Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Manufacturer Berry's Manufacturer SKU 00400 This is not loaded ammunition. You cannot fire these bullets right after you open their packaging, as they lack cases, powder and propellant. Do not order these component bullets if you do not handload your own ammunition.
Do order these component bullets if you do handload your own ammunition, though! These 0.452” diameter, 0.610" overall length, 230 grain jacketed hollow points are perfect if you want to make your own 45 ACP self-defense ammo. They’re also perfect if you’re a fan of the 45 GAP and are tired of looking for high-quality ammo for personal protection.
This is Berry’s Hybrid Hollow Point. It starts out as a swaged lead core, which is electroplated with copper to create zero exposed lead and excellent jacket concentricity. The electroplating process also yields a bonded jacket, so you can count on reliably deep penetration during a self-defense scenario. Every Berry’s bullet is restruck to ensure that it adheres to tight specifications.
Berry’s advises that these bullets have an effective velocity of 825 to 975 fps. They also advise loading a 1.210” long 45 ACP cartridge. Use a round nose seating stem to avoid damaging the Hybrid Hollow Point’s performance, and do not overcrimp the brass after seating (you can use a roll or taper crimp). Load data are available in any manual or on any propellant manufacturer’s website.Customer Reviews

You’ll get powerful and accurate ammunition that uses Hornady’s HAP design, which is intended for competition shooting.

Accurate
-
Despite the couple of bad reviews of this Hornady product my experience is just the opposite. The HAPs both 200 and 185 will shoot very tight groups and at book or higher velocities.
Review by Dead Eye (Posted on 7/22/2024)

good projectile
-
I love loading and shooting these. easy to load and nice shooting. I do prefer a 200gr but these are fine. As mentioned, they may not be bullseye quality but i shoot lead SWC when i want to be tight. I will say these perform better at higher velocities. When i load down in the 700's they do get loose and seem to like 900 or even a little faster, especially out of tight barrels. So if you aren't getting the accuracy you want maybe drop a few more grains in and see if it helps

Very disappointed
-
I bought these bullets a while ago to shoot bullseye at 50 yards. I have loaded these bullets with various different powders and loads and I have come to the conclusion that they just don't shoot accurately. Sorry, but I would not buy them again. I have had other issues with the Hornaday brand and I am staying away.

Very good performing bulk target bullets
-
I have purchased a couple cases each of these HAP bullets in 9mm, 45 and 40 caliber. They perform well accuracy wise, I’m getting ¾-1” groups at 25yds out of a Sig P220 and a Wiley Clapp 1911 Government, both with Barsto barrels. I would caution that the jackets are thin or soft as I reloaded some Federal primed brass that had bullet sealant and it caused the cone to deform on the 40 caliber bullets.
