45 ACP is one of the more expensive common pistol rounds to shoot, and MaxxTech offers brass-cased 45 at a budget price. This listing is MaxxTech 45 ACP 230 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN PTGB45B, sold as 500 rounds.
MaxxTech rates this load at 853 fps with a 230 grain FMJ bullet, the classic 45 ACP weight that gives the cartridge its slow, rolling recoil. At that speed the bullet is subsonic, so it is quiet through a suppressor and comfortable to shoot for long sessions. The round nose profile feeds reliably in 1911 pistols as well as modern polymer 45s. It is brass cased, so it extracts smoothly and is welcome at ranges that do not allow steel-cased ammunition. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this ammunition is for practice and plinking rather than defense or hunting.
This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 45 ACP, also listed as 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Ruger, Tisas, and Rock Island, the Glock 21, 30, and 41, Smith and Wesson M&P45 and SD45, SIG P220 and P227, HK USP45 and HK45, Springfield XD-M 45, Taurus PT1911, and the Kriss Vector. A common question is whether budget ammo is reliable in a 1911. Value-priced 230 grain ball is generally the easiest load for a 1911 to feed, but every pistol has preferences, so shoot a box before buying in quantity. Another common question is whether 45 ACP and 45 GAP are interchangeable. They are not.
MaxxTech PTGB45B is new production ammunition, not reloads, and is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 500 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain FMJ. Buying 500 at a time keeps you on a consistent lot so your pistol sees the same ammunition from box to box, and it keeps the cost of shooting a big-bore pistol manageable.

Have experienced many misfires with MAXX TECH. The primers seem too recess ed (maybe too hard?) compared to .45 cal Blazers. We have at zero misfires with those. We own 15 handguns and have many different striker and 2011 guns so we are well acquainted with their operations. The MAXX TECH experienced is with .45 cal ammo. That is the caliber is the only we have used MAXX TECH for.

I have not yet used any of this order’s ammo, but it’s worth a review. Previous ammo fired cleanly and reliably, no problems. As usual, the ammo was competitively priced and arrived quickly, faster than others I have ordered from. They donate a portion of their proceeds to wonderful groups that buyers can vote on. Bulk munitions has become my default source, no reason to look elsewhere.

Decent price. Seem to shoot fairly clean. Only ordered 500rds but I’ve shot over 250rds thru my Gen4 Glock 21.45 auto already and I haven’t had an issue so far. No FTF, FTE, or duds. All and all, good ammo. Would buy again. And probably am going to.

I’ve only fired 100 rnds. so far but have had no issues. Rounds burn pretty clean which makes cleaning easier.
