45 ACP - 230 Grain FMJ - Winchester USA - 500 Rounds

When the US military replaced the .45 ACP in the 1980s, it was deemed by many to be an action of sacrilege. While the 9mm that replaced it has served well, many special forces operators as well as law enforcement officers continue to rely on the larger round. Adopted by the US Army in 1911, the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge was embraced by civil and military personnel alike as the quintessential self defense round: large, slow and accurate, not prone to over penetrate and fully reliable to transfer its ballistic energy into the target, even with ball ammo. The 230 grain full metal jacket by Winchester exits the muzzle at 835 feet per second with just over 355 foot pounds of energy. This 500 round, half case lot fits the need of target shooting, training and competitive shooters equally.

Few names are as recognizable in the American shooting world as Winchester. Winchester ammunition, under the Olin Corporation, has produced billions of rounds out of the Clayton, Missouri plant since the end of World War II. The Winchester white box is a clear indicator of reliable quality and superiority of components, right down to the reloadable brass cases. 500 rounds of .45 ACP offers plenty of additional instances of value to reloading specialists as well as casual to professional shooters.
