The Remington Ultimate Defense .45 ACP is a factory-loaded centerfire pistol cartridge featuring a 230-grain jacketed hollow point projectile and reloadable brass casing. Proudly made in the USA, this 20-round offering combines traditional .45 ACP cartridge dimensions with a projectile configuration intended for defensive applications.
Each cartridge is loaded with a 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullet. The JHP design features a jacket surrounding the projectile while leaving the nose exposed, giving the cartridge a distinctive profile compared with full metal jacket ammunition. The 230-grain bullet is a traditional weight for the .45 ACP cartridge and provides a clearly defined specification when comparing different loads.
The ammunition uses reloadable brass casings, offering a conventional and durable case material that's widely used for centerfire pistol ammunition. For those who reload, the cases can potentially be reused with appropriate equipment and components while following established reloading practices and published load data.
Remington lists a muzzle velocity of 875 feet per second and muzzle energy of 391 foot-pounds for this load. Actual performance can vary depending on firearm configuration, barrel length, environmental conditions, and other factors, so these figures should be regarded as published reference specifications.
The ammunition comes packaged in a 20-round quantity, providing a convenient format for storage, range sessions, or other lawful applications. Each cartridge is chambered for .45 ACP firearms, and users should always confirm that their firearm is specifically chambered for .45 ACP before loading or firing ammunition.
The Ultimate Defense designation identifies this particular Remington load as part of the company's defensive-oriented ammunition line. Its combination of a 230-grain JHP projectile and conventional brass casing gives the cartridge a familiar configuration for shooters who prefer the .45 ACP platform.
Proper ammunition handling and storage are essential. Cartridges should be kept in a cool, dry location and handled according to the firearm manufacturer's recommendations and all applicable laws and regulations. Users should also inspect ammunition before use and discontinue use of any cartridge that appears damaged or compromised.
With its 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullet, reloadable brass casing, 875 fps published muzzle velocity, and 391 ft.-lbs. published muzzle energy, the Remington Ultimate Defense .45 ACP provides a clearly specified factory-loaded option for compatible firearms.
