45 ACP – 230 gr FMJ – Fiocchi (45A500) – 500 Rounds

The 230 grain full metal jacket is the original 45 ACP load, and it remains the standard for 1911 practice and matches. This listing is Fiocchi 45 ACP (45 Auto) 230 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 45A500, sold as 500 rounds for 1911 owners, bullseye shooters, and anyone who shoots a 45 regularly.

A 230 grain round nose bullet at standard 45 ACP velocity gives the heavy, slow push the cartridge is known for and feeds reliably in nearly every 45 pistol, including older 1911s built around ball ammunition. Fiocchi has a long history of loading quality centerfire ammunition, and its brass is popular with handloaders. As a full metal jacket bullet, it does not expand, so this load is meant for practice, training, and competition rather than self defense or hunting.

This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 45 ACP, including 1911s from Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Ruger, Tisas, and Rock Island, the Glock 21, 30, and 41, SIG P220, HK USP 45 and HK45, Smith and Wesson M&P45 and SW1911, Springfield XD, the Thompson carbine, and the KRISS Vector. A common question is whether 45 ACP ball will run in a pistol tuned for hollow points. Ball ammunition is the most reliable feeding profile for 45 pistols, so it usually runs well in any working gun. Another common question is whether 45 ACP and 45 Long Colt are interchangeable. They are not. 45 Colt is a longer revolver cartridge, so only use 45 ACP in guns marked for it.

Fiocchi 45A500 is new production ammunition, not reloads. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing contains 500 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain FMJ from one lot, which keeps point of impact consistent through a full season of practice and leaves you with good brass if you reload.
