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.

Taken advantage of said:
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.

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.

I was a little hesitant at first, but Ammo.com delivered as advertised. I expected a little higher price due to the ammunition shortage and found that other dealers are pricier. I will be a future customer.

These are difficult times with regards to getting ammo of just about any kind. This was a bit pricy, but not too bad and shipping was as expected and the quality was fine, but have not shot a lot as want to make sure to have some on hand.

185 Grain MC Ammunition,, Is a nice light load and fun to shoot,, Yes you can get FMJ 230 grain bullets for less money but once you shoot the 185gr or the 165gr the recoil is much less intimidated and can hold on target should you need Or want a follow up shot
