45 ACP Ammo For Sale
Overview of 45 ACP Ammo
The .45 ACP, developed by John Moses Browning in 1905, is a cornerstone of American ammunition known for its power and reliability. It offers excellent stopping power and accuracy, making it ideal for personal protection, law enforcement, and competitive shooting. Originally designed to meet the U.S. Cavalry's need for a more effective round, it became the official sidearm of the U.S. Armed Forces in 1911 with the M1911 pistol. Favored by units like the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team and LAPD SWAT, the .45 ACP's versatility and effectiveness continue to make it a trusted choice over a century later.

I spoke with Chris yesterday (28-November) I needed clarification on the rebate process from Winchester. He walked me through the process step by step, shared his own experience relating to the process. It's always reassuring when someone shares from a personal point of view, not just what's written, gave me some insight on timeframes, also advice, go to tje site first so i would know what was needed, a great help to because I'm buying from Ammo.com of course and there are time frames, so that was very helpful as well.. Chirs was patient, knowledge and insightful about all aspects of his product. Normally (as with most) I feel if I dont ask i wont get the full story, Chris always deep dives and goes further giving all needed for me to feel comfortable in my decision. I might add you aren't going to find better pricing, along with carry laws state by state, uodated daily, real time. Service, Pricing, Quality: thats a Hat Trick everyone can live with... thank you Ammo.com for having ambassadors such as Chris representing you....

The ammo shoots perfectly out of my picky 1911. I had zero malfunctions out of 500 rounds shot. Fiocchi ammo gave me an average of one malfunction / 50 rounds shot. My only gripes are that the bullets look a little dirty, which of course had no issue with performance. And mostly the only thing I didn't like was that the tray the bullets come in is made out of Styrofoam so it leaves little foam bits all over the counter at the range.... All in all I would buy again.

This ammo is a great value, great quality and performs well! Sellier & Bellot is always a great choice. It shoots as well as or better than I can and it is relatively clean.

I purchased 5 boxes of S&B .45 ACP 230 grain. Out of the 5 boxes at least one box of 50 were misfires. Primers were hit, did not fire! Contacted S&B about the issue, nothing was done about it. Rounds were fired through my Smith and Wesson 1911 PC which is always on point with other brands of ammo.

Shots were fired down range with no problem. Ammo came in on time and worked great with my 1911 and SW Shield 45 ACP. I will buy again.

Shooting an S&W 1911, I've put 500 rounds down range so far and not a single issue. For the price, it's a great range ammo.

Charlie said:
Speaking specifically of 45 ball ammo. Years ago I once had a AD inside my house. I was amazed at the performance. It went thru 3 walls, changed direction 3x due to hitting wall studs before finally stopping against the inside brick cavity at the exterior of the house. I recovered the bullet and it had only minor deformation. Since then I keep and extra mag of Ball just in case.

ROLAND said:
This is the second round type by Winchester I have shot. The 5.56 and this 45 FMJ 230 gr were horrible. After this 500, I am done with Winchester as a round. Yeah, they are cheap ....think about that...maybe that is why.

I love my .45 ACP 1911A1 but sometimes it hurts my bank account knowing how much I'm spending every time I pull the trigger. Ammo.com offers a great variety of solutions at prices enthusiast shooters can afford, I am quite pleased with my purchase and plan to make many more.

Easily more accurate than I am. Based on the ballistics calculated online it’s flat out to 50 yards. I know it’s flat to 25 yards by test.
