45 JHP - something other than Hornady?

[donkbet]

Does anyone know where I can find .45 JHP other than Hornady? My USP Compact hates Hornady Every site I've checked seems to only carry Hornady.

Anyone else know of any other stores?

Which is why most of us reload, although powder is really hard to come by these days. Bullet Barn has good cast and Dominion primers from CanAm are good.

And you want JHP why? We're shooting at paper or steel. Neither cares if there's a divot in the nose of the bullet. Save yourself a lot of cost and headache and buy regular round nose ammo and your feeding issues will vanish.

Shoot jacketed ammo gets expensive really fast. However, try a different bullet weight.
Your local gun shop can order anything you want. Remington makes several JHP's. As does Winchester and Federal.

Fiocchi makes a nice 230 gr JHP.

My box stock Norinco compact [commander] eats it up like no body's business.

I picked up Remmy 230 grain HP's from WSS. I haven't heard great reports on them, and I haven't fired them myself. I really like Winchester White Box 230 grain HP's. I saw them at WSS too, but were a few bucks more per box than the Remmy's.

...good luck finding it though. CanAM has stocked it in the past, but this stuff isn't for punching paper you understand?

 

[saskcop]

Those Gold Dots would be sweet - but I am sure that they are very pricey??

The Hornady critical duty is great ammo. Why don't you want Hornady.

 

[plinker 777]

couple of bucks a pop if memory serves. I believe the OP is having feeding issues with Hornady HP's. Although the Great JMB never intended his benevolent gift to use JHP's , I'm certain the Gold Dots will feed without an issue...but as I said, they're not intended to punch paper (@ $2 a round).

 

[animalamidon]

try custom reloading supplies. I have got some nice speer gold dots in the past.

So has it be determine why the OP needs Hollow points instead of standard round ball the 45 was designed for?

Because it's a free (sorta) country and he wants them.

If he is legally allowed to own/possess/use handguns what does it matter what he 'needs' hollow point ammo for?

I agree. "Need" has nothing to do with it. In this country, if you want it, and it is legal, you should not have to explain yourself.

I won't speak for the OP, but I have a box just cause they're kewl...I'm actually on the hunt for some R.I.P. ammo in either .44 mag, .357 mag, .45 acp or 9mm for the same reason. Most of us just kind of collect semi-obscure ammo when it becomes available, nothing nefarious.

The OP says the Hornady doesn't feed in his compact...wouldn't you want ammo on your shelf that you know feeds? Or in his case doesn't? Makes perfect sense to me, no mystery there.
