Description
Federal American Eagle 45 ACP ammunition gives you a straightforward, dependable round for the range that won't drain your budget. Built with clean-burning powders and non-corrosive Boxer primers, this load keeps your firearm cleaner during extended shooting sessions and minimizes residue buildup. The 230-grain full metal jacket bullet is the classic standard weight for the 45 ACP platform, engineered for reliable feeding through virtually any 45 ACP handgun you throw at it.
Federal American Eagle Ballistics and Performance
With a muzzle velocity of 890 fps and 404 ft-lbs of energy, these rounds mirror the ballistics of higher-priced defensive and competition ammunition. That means your practice sessions translate more directly to real-world performance without paying premium prices. The full metal jacket construction provides smooth, consistent feeding and clean target performance without the fouling you get from some budget alternatives.
Reloadable Brass and Value
The ammunition comes loaded in virgin brass cases that are fully reloadable up to five times, making it an excellent choice if you're into handloading. Brass cases cycle smoothly through semi-automatic platforms and extract reliably, and the non-magnetic lead core meets range requirements nationwide. Whether you're putting rounds downrange at the local club or running volume training sessions, the value extends beyond what you pay at the counter.
