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've had no issues with any of the ammo I have received from ammo.com. The .45 acp has performed flawlessly and delivery was easy, especially given I live in an unfree state

Christopher said:
Easy to order online. I get it 5-7 days; I live in NJ. Ammo always fires, no duds. I also like the history of the bullet and caliber, how it came to be. This is the only place I get my ammo from.

Lee said:
I like the ammo, but not the rising cost of the ammo. No misfires on the ammo in over 500 rounds shot thus far.

This ammo was purchased for range use. I shoot on average 100 rounds per session at least once a week. I was pleasently surprised at the peformance of the round. I fired 25 rounds at one target and then 25 at a second target. Folded them over each other and the groupings were a close match. My carry pistol is a Colt Defender 1911 and this is perfect practice ammo. I will continue to purchase as it becomes available.

Great ammo with high quality brass, also has large pistol primer if you are interested in reloading. As far as value goes, given the recently inflated prices that accompany such high demand all ammo has become too pricey. That having been said, in relative terms it is a great value. It is my go to ammo for practicing.

Louis said:
This is reliable, clean burning consistent ammo. It cycles perfectly and there were no malfunctions in either my XDM or my Kimber 1911 super carry ultra. It has high quality reloadable brass with large pistol primers. When available this is my go to ammo.

Practice said:
Just purchased this for 1911 range time. Shoots fine through a couple hundred rounds so far with no goofups. Market is up right now so that'll explain overall cost. I'd buy more when the time comes.

Jim said:
Thanks for the quick service. This ammo ran flawlessly thru my 1911 gold cup and my grandson's glock. We both fired over 600 rounds each during the handgun course we attended.

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.

Tom said:
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.

This ammo has the small primer pockets with no mention of it. I purchased 1000 rounds. When I noticed it had the small primers and contacted Ammo.com I was told it could not be exchanged for 45 ACP with the large pockets after 30 days, it was 31 days after the purchase. I reload everything so to me this is worthless. All they had to do is write one sentence, small primer pockets and I would have gone to the next 45 ammo. Now I will go to a different supplier.

I've sent a quite a few hundred down range with my 1911, and my SA XDM 3.8. Not one issue.

So far only fired 100 rounds. Had one stovepipe in first 50, and two stovepipes in second 50. The pistol is 50 years old and in near-perfect condition. I normally do not get more than 1 hung case in 500 or more rounds, much of it Blazer Brass purchased locally. As I get more experience with this lot of Blazer Brass, I'll try to update my opinion.
