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.

good quality ammo

Firstly, if your looking for great ammo at a cheap price then this is it. Secondly, I’ve shot about 200 rounds and no misfires (might happen if you don’t clean your weapon after every session) some people have no knowledge of PCIs and maintenance. This is well comparable to the high valued rounds with none of the extra cost. Will definitely be buyin again.

I have only fired 100 rounds so far. 50 each in two different 1911's. Not a single problem.

Alvaro said:
I liked the ammo but in some indoor shooting ranges, they do not allow to use this ammo.

For the price this is pretty decent range ammo.

Rick said:
Purchased 50 rounds, but have only shot 18 so far. I've had no problems at all. Shoots nice and clean, and no duds. I love the federal ammo so far. My only knock was on the value....which I dropped down 1 notch. The price for the 50 round box is awesome, but the shipping and handling hurt the value...still when you can't find the ammo you are looking for locally, the shipping and handling isn't much of an issue. Thank You Ammo.com!!!!

Put about 80 of these through a Tac XD over the weekend. No jams, no misfires. All things considered, a pretty good round for the money.

I ordered a few thousand rounds of 40cal for several guys in training. The ONLY misfires were due to unclean weapons. Once the weapons were cleaned all worked well. Thanks

People keep telling me that the Hi-Point handguns are junk! I used this ammo in my 45ACP, I never had any problems and the ammo performed better than I expected.

Clean firing, no malfunctions. Ammo used to "break in" a new weapon. Accomplished that mission very well, as expected from prior use of CCI ammo.

sarge said:
I have used this in my Glock 21 for duty and it has always performed outstanding, great ammo!

Ron G. said:
The ammo worked perfectly in my Remington R1S. Shipping costs hurt a bit.

CHUCKCHUCK555 said:
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
-
RobR said:

Dayne said:
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.

The only thing that could have been better is the price, but with everything that is going on with gun control the price was still acceptable. Thank You and i will be purchasing more in the fucture

Fired said:
3 rounds out of 4 full clips jammed due to casing not being flush at the bullet on my Ruger P90DC. Overall, not bad for the money as a target round.

eeffoc said:
using this brought back memories of being in the marine corps at a time we had to depend on having good ,solid ,reliable ammo. no problems with this at all.

Rodger said:
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.
-
Kelly said:
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.

I shot 100 rounds of this ammo without any problems. Actually pretty clean too. I will buy this again even tho its Russian made.

Robert-23 said:
The base of this ammo is just a hair bigger than other .45 ACP ammo. This makes it hard to load in some Sig mags (particularly newer 8-10- round mags). There is a notch just below the top bullet on these mags that catch Wolf rounds and make it hard to load the magazine and then cause the next round up to fail to rise to the top. Have not had this problem on older or 1911 Mags.

Sarge said:
I have shot this out of my government 1911 and my Glock 21 both function great no problems and hit where I was aiming great value

Frank said:
I have tried all brands of ammo but when I bought my first case from ammo.com of Estate ammo which is one of my favorites, I was so pleased with the price and delivery I'll be back, and so will my friends

Gary D said:
The 185 grain cycled thru both my Glocks and Para-Ordnance 1911 LDA without any problems. The .40SW feed thru my Beretta Strorm Carbines and both were very accuate and fairly clean burining.

This round will stop anyone in his tracks. If after seeing the Hi-Point 45 ACP handgun they choose to advance on me, they won't get very far.

Jack said:
This ammo is awesome! Great quality. And the price is on target.

Ed said:
