SIG V-Crown cartridges utilize a perfect storm of features from low-flash propellant to a cannelured shank, resulting in maximum weight retention with reliable ballistic performance.
SIG V-Crown ammunition creates a consistent V-shaped main cavity on top of a deep narrow trail with superior weight retention, maximum expansion, optimal penetration depth time after time.
Hornady Bullets:Â Depending on the caliber, Hornady Custom handgun ammunition is loaded with Hornady XTP, FMJ-RN, XTP Mag, FTX or FP (flat point)-XTP bullets.
Select Cases:Â Hornady produces most of the brass for Hornady Custom pistol ammo. All other brass is selected to ensure it meets our unusually high standards for reliable feeding, corrosion resistance, proper hardness and the ability to withstand maximum chamber pressures.
Matched Powders And Primers:Â Powders in each cartridge are loaded to ensure optimal pressure, velocity and consistency from lot to lot. Each primer is matched to individual loads, and specifically selected for their ability to quickly, completely, and reliably ignite the powder charge.
FlexLock Bullet:Â Incorporates two revolutionary Hornady features: the no-clog, patented Flex Tip design and the heavy duty jacket-to-core InterLock band.
InterLock Band:Â Works to keep the bullet and core from separating for maximum weight retention and proven terminal performance through all FBI test barriers.
Core:Â Made of high-antimony lead making it extremely tough, delivering controlled expansion for unparalleled terminal performance consistency through all FBI test barriers. It’s also more economical than similar bonded bullets.
Nickel-Plated Crimped Cases:Â Nickel plating resists corrosion and greatly enhances low-light chamber checks. The cannelured bullet with crimped case ensures no bullet setback during feeding.
MonoFlex Bullet Technology:Â The tough copper alloy in the MonoFlex bullet allows for deep penetration while retaining 95% of its weight for maximum impact.
Elastomer Material:Â An elastomer material in the bullet’s open cavity compresses upon impact and then pushes out, causing rapid expansion.
Premium Components:Â Premium cases, primers and propellants combine with the MonoFlex bullet to create a cartridge that delivers superior performance in the field.
