Description
Federal American Eagle .45 ACP ammunition is built specifically for what you'll do most at the range: practice, training, and skill development. This load delivers predictable performance that mirrors the feel of premium ammunition without the premium price tag.
The Right Load for Training
With a 230-grain full metal jacket bullet, 890 fps velocity, and 404 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this ammunition gives you ballistics that closely match defensive and competition loads. That means your trigger time translates better to real-world shooting. The FMJ design ensures smooth, reliable feeding across different .45 ACP platforms, from traditional 1911 pistols to modern semi-automatics.
Built to Last and Reload
Federal loaded these rounds with non-corrosive Boxer primers and clean-burning powders that minimize fouling, so you spend less time cleaning and more time shooting. The virgin brass cases are reloadable up to five times, which adds real value if you reload or plan to down the road. That's genuine practical value for anyone who shoots regularly.
Anniversary Edition Packaging
These 50-round boxes feature a limited-edition design commemorating America's 250th anniversary, making them a practical collectible if you're into that sort of thing. The packaging doesn't change the ammunition inside, but it's a nice touch on what's already a solid performer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Federal American Eagle .45 ACP 230gr feed reliably in my pistol?
Yes. The full metal jacket design feeds smoothly in any standard .45 ACP semi-automatic platform, whether you're running a 1911, Glock, XD, M&P, or any other modern .45 ACP handgun. The 230-grain configuration is the industry standard that works across the board, and Federal's quality control ensures consistent case dimensions and primer ignition.
Can I reload these brass casings?
Absolutely. The virgin brass cases are reloadable up to five times, which makes a real difference if you're a high-volume shooter or want to get more value from your range time. Each case includes a non-corrosive Boxer primer that you can replace when you reload.
How does this ammunition compare to Federal's premium loads?
American Eagle is loaded to the same ballistic specifications as Federal's premium ammunition, but without the premium price. You get the same 890 fps velocity and reliable performance for training and range work. The difference is in application and packaging, not quality or consistency.
Is this ammunition clean to shoot?
Federal uses clean-burning powders and non-corrosive primers in this load, which minimizes fouling during shooting sessions. This means less carbon buildup in your gun and fewer cleanings between range days compared to some budget alternatives.
