Yes, you have to look around to find this type of ammo. Usually hollowpoints will weigh less than 230gr because a portion of the lead and copper have been removed to make the hollowpoint. With kinetic energy, there is always a trade off between Mass (~weight) and Velocity. Projectiles that weigh less than 230gr will travel faster, but impact with less force than one weighing 230gr.

How far can a 45 acp shoot?
If you were standing on a hill, with the wind to your back, and you fired a .45 ACP into the air at a 45 degree angle, with respect to the ground below, the projectile could easily travel a mile or more. This would NOT be very accurate, nor would the projectile be very powerful at the end of its trajectory.
What is difference between 380 caliber and 38 caliber?
One would think that .380 ACP and .38 Special would be the same size--namely 38-hundredths of an inch. But there can be some flexibility in stated caliber and actual caliber. Long story short, .380 ACP is the same diameter as a 9mm, roughly .355 caliber. .38 Special is basically .357 caliber.
What is the muzzle velocity of 45 acp?
Anywhere from 600 feet per second up to a little over 1000 fps depending on the exact specifications of the cartridge.
What is the speed of a 380 acp bullet falling straight down?
Falling, and not tumbling end over end, the bullet will accelerate (due to gravity) at 32 ft per second- per second- until it reaches the terminal velocity- limited by air resistance- around 300 mph. If tumbling end over end, more air resistance, less speed- about 225 mps MAXIMUM.
Does a380 bullet have the same stopping power of a 9mm bullet?
The .380 is a 9mm bullet. But, going with the assuming that you're comparing the .380 ACP (9x17mm) against the 9mm Luger/9mm Parabellum (9x19mm), the answer would be no.
Why does a 45 ACP produce less pressure than a 9mm?
Less powder for its size.
For guns What is more powerful a 45acp 0r a 9mm?
The actual power of any given cartridge is based on speed and weight of the bullet. There are multiple different loads for the 9mm Parabellum, and for the .45 ACP. HOWEVER- in general, the 9mm Parabellum has a higher energy than the .45 ACP. Search Wikipedia for 9mm Parabellum, and for .45 ACP. Scroll down for energy figures on the left. It should be noted that almost all .45 loads have heavier bullets, and the .45 ACP is generally considered to have greater "stopping" power than the 9mm.
357 magnum revolver and you were wondering how the recoil compares to a 45 acp 1911?
Depends on the weight of the respective guns, and how the cartridge for each is loaded. A very light weight .357 with a very hot load will recoil more than a heavy framed .45 with a mild load. A compact .45 with hot loads will recoil MUCH more than a heavy, long barreled .357 with mild loads. An AVERAGE 4 inch .357 with AVERAGE 125 gr loads will recoil a bit less than a standard 1911 with 230 grain ball loads.
What ammo is cheaper 9mm or 45?
9mm target ammunition is commonly less expensive than .45 ACP.
How powerful is a kimber pro carry 45-semiautomatic?
No more or less 'powerful' than any other pistol firing the .45 ACP cartridge.
Why is a 45 gap comparable to a 45 acp and a 380 acp is not comparable to a 9mm?
The 45 GAP operates at slightly higher pressure than standard (non +p) 45 ACP ammunition and by this means is able to generate similar velocity and energy to the 45 ACP cartridge. The 380 Auto cartridge is not only smaller than 9mm Luger, it is also far lower pressure. The 380 Auto delivers far less velocity and energy and cannot handle as much bullet mass as the 9mm.
Is a 10 mm bigger than a 45 acp?
No. 45 ACP is approximately 11.5 millimeters, so 10mm is slightly smaller in diameter.
Can you shoot 45 auto and 45 ACP?
ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. .45 ACP and .45 Auto are the same cartridge. .45 Colt and .45 Auto Rim are a revolver cartridge. .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) is a shorter round than the ACP, and does not interchange with it.
Can a 380 acp be used for hunting and what king of hunting?
It can be used for hunting. Since it is a handgun, you would have to be closer to your target because it's less accurate than a rifle. Also, it may not immediately kill anything larger than a deer. So if you hunt bighorn sheep, or deer, and you can sneak up on them, and if you're a good shot, you can hunt with a 380 ACP.
Is corona better than acp?
In studies, no, but in physical activities, yes.
What does ACP mean in 45 acp?
ACP stand for Automatic Colt Pistol
What is more powerful 40 or 45?
.40 is the more powerful ---------- I would have to beg to differ on that one. The highest energy .40 S&W round produces 500 ft/lb... that's the 155 grain Guardian Gold @ 1205 fps. The 200 grain Speer Gold Dot in .45 ACP produces 518 ft/lbs, while the 185 grain bonded defense produces 616 ft/lbs. So sure, there are some .40 loads which produce more energy than some .45 ACP loads, but overall? No.
