Sellier & Bellot 45ACP Ammo - 230 Grain FMJ

230 Grain .45 ACP FMJ

This is a 50-round box of Sellier & Bellot .45 ACP loaded with a 230 grain full metal jacket bullet, made for target shooting, range training and regular practice. The 230 grain weight is the traditional .45 ACP load, so it handles the way most .45 pistols were set up to shoot. Owners of 1911-pattern pistols and other .45 Auto handguns who put real round counts through their guns will find it a sensible standard practice load.

Features

• .45 ACP / .45 Auto Caliber — The box is marked with both names because they are the same cartridge, so it suits any firearm chambered for either.
• 230 Grain Bullet — Each bullet weighs 230 grains (14.9 g), grain being the small unit of weight used for bullets and powder.
• Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) — A copper-colored jacket fully covers the round-nosed front of the bullet, which helps it feed smoothly and keeps lead from smearing in the bore.
• 853 FPS Muzzle Velocity — The bullet leaves the muzzle at 853 feet per second, a typical speed for a standard-pressure 230 grain .45 load.
• Brass Cases — The cartridge cases are brass, which extracts cleanly and holds up to repeated firing and resizing.
• Boxer-Primed And Reloadable — Boxer priming uses a single central flash hole, so handloaders can knock out the spent primer and reload the case.
• Noncorrosive — The ammunition leaves no corrosive salts behind that would cause rust in the barrel after a range session.
• 50 Rounds Per Box — Cartridges come packed in a printed 50-count cardboard box that is labeled with caliber, bullet type and weight.
• Made In Czech Republic — The box is marked as made in the Czech Republic by Sellier & Bellot, part of the Colt CZ Group.

Construction And Fit

Each cartridge pairs a 230 grain FMJ bullet with a brass case stamped S&B and 45 AUTO on the headstamp, the markings on the base of the case. Use it in any pistol, carbine or submachine gun chambered for .45 ACP or .45 Auto. The cases are boxer-primed and reloadable, so handloaders can keep the brass after shooting. FMJ ammunition is built for practice and target work, not expansion, so it is meant for the range.
