SIM-X DefenseCore 45 ACP 72 Grain Lead-Free JHP Ammo 20RD

SIM-X DefenseCore 45 ACP 72 Grain Lead-Free JHP Ammo 20RD

The SIM-X DefenseCore 45 ACP 72 Grain Lead-Free JHP takes a lightweight, high-velocity approach to .45 ACP personal-defense ammunition. Instead of using a conventional heavy lead projectile, DefenseCore combines a patented 72 grain synthetic-polymer lead-free core with a purpose-designed hollow-point jacket.

SIM-X lists this .45 ACP load at an impressive 1,825 FPS muzzle velocity and 532 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The lightweight projectile design is also intended to significantly reduce felt recoil compared with traditional .45 ACP loads.

72 Grain Lead-Free Hollow Point

At just 72 grains, the DefenseCore projectile is substantially lighter than traditional .45 ACP ammunition. The projectile combines SIM-X's patented synthetic-polymer, lead-free core with a custom Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) design intended for personal-protection applications.

1,825 FPS High-Velocity Load

SIM-X lists the DefenseCore .45 ACP at a muzzle velocity of 1,825 FPS, generating approximately 532 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. This combination gives DefenseCore a significantly different ballistic profile than conventional heavy-for-caliber .45 ACP ammunition.

Reduced-Recoil Design

Despite its high listed velocity, the extremely light projectile reduces the reciprocating impulse associated with launching a conventional 185, 200, or 230 grain .45 ACP bullet. According to SIM-X, its submass projectile design can produce approximately 40% less recoil than traditional loads.

Lead-Free Synthetic-Polymer Core

The DefenseCore projectile uses a lead-free synthetic-polymer core. This unconventional construction allows SIM-X to substantially reduce projectile weight while maintaining the external dimensions required for a .45 ACP cartridge.

Reloadable Brass Cases

DefenseCore ammunition is loaded in new-production brass cases identified by the supplied manufacturer specifications as reloadable. Each factory box contains 20 rounds.
