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.

1st time shooting this new pistol, Smith &Wesson, M&P, 4" barrel. 1st was the target ammon to get used to it then full mag of the Remington. Very accurate even in rapid fire. 6 out of 10 in 4" circle. Other 4 within the 6" circle. In other wards, all round placement, terminal.

In a 50 round box, I found that these actually perform much better than the ammo I was trained on. I know my training ammo was just “ target ammo”…but there is a big difference between the two. This will be my stock up self defense ammo for certain.

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.

Okay, first I will just say I ordered one thousand rounds after doing multiple different tests on this round. I found it to expand over .85" with the biggest one expanding just over an inch. Out of all the premium rounds and the generic rounds on the market for non-bonded hollow points in 45, this had the best performance every....single...time. Not to mention it has light recoil. I found its recoil to be on par with steel cased wolf or tulammo. It fed smooth in my glocks, 1911s and even in my tommy gun. I say buy it. Get it and thank ammo.com for this terrific product. I sure do

AA++ Thank You for the fast service.

Mike said:
This is great ammo for Self Defense, this will get the job done. Using solid guns like Kimber in 45 & 10mm, I was able to achieve a level of accuracy at 25 yards with this ammo that I haven't been able to do since my Army days. Firing many 3 round groups at 25 yards, All shots could fit inside the circumference of a Quarter, actually the shots on the target touched and overlapped each other, nice mushrooms, 0 malfunctions and seeing some expand to over an inch, I decided to change over and make this my first "go to" ammo. Thank you Ammo.com

Good Rounds and at a "comparatively" reasonable price to other suppliers gauging prices to take full advantage of a Government incited panic.

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.
