PMC Battle Packs seal loose rounds in heavy vacuum-packed bags, which makes them easy to store and fast to empty into a range bag. This listing is PMC Bronze 45 ACP 230 grain full metal jacket ammo in Battle Packs, MPN 45A-BP, sold as 750 rounds.
PMC rates this load at 830 fps with 352 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, the same as its boxed 45A. The 230 grain round nose bullet is the classic 45 ACP design, with subsonic velocity and the cartridge’s smooth, rolling recoil. It feeds reliably in 1911 pistols and modern polymer 45s alike. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this ammunition is intended for practice, plinking, and competition rather than defense or hunting. The vacuum-sealed packaging keeps moisture out, so a bulk supply stays fresh until you need it.
This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 45 ACP, also listed as 45 Auto, including Government, Commander, and Officer size 1911 pistols, the Glock 21, 30, and 41, Smith and Wesson M&P45, SIG P220, HK USP45 and HK45, Springfield XD-M 45, Ruger American Pistol 45, Taurus PT1911, and the Kriss Vector. A common question is whether Battle Pack ammo is the same as PMC’s boxed 45A. It is the same load, just packed 250 to a sealed bag. Another common question is whether this ammo is good for breaking in a new 1911. Yes. 230 grain round nose ball is the load most 1911s are designed around, so it is the natural choice for break-in and function testing.
PMC 45A-BP is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 3 Battle Packs of 250 rounds for a total of 750 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain FMJ, a single lot for consistent function.

Excellent service and quality, as always. Son in law is USMC grad, 2 tours in Iraq-Fallujah. We both like the battle packs. Brought out good stories from the ammo facility at Camp Lejeune…
