45 ACP – 230 gr FMJ – Tula (TA452300) – 500 Rounds

The 45 ACP is one of the more expensive common pistol cartridges to shoot, which makes steel case ammunition attractive for practice. This listing is Tula 45 ACP 230 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN TA452300, sold as 500 rounds. It gives 1911, Glock 21, and other 45 owners an affordable way to get more range time.

This load is rated at 850 fps with the classic 230 grain bullet, which duplicates the familiar recoil and point of impact of standard 45 hardball. The round nose FMJ profile feeds well in 1911s and other pistols designed around ball ammunition. It does not expand, so it is practice and plinking ammunition, not a defensive load. The polymer coating on the steel case helps with smooth chambering and extraction and protects the cases from corrosion.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 45 ACP, also called 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Ruger, Rock Island, and Kimber, the Glock 21 and 30, Smith and Wesson M&P45, SIG P220, HK USP45, Springfield XD-M, and carbines such as the Kriss Vector and Thompson. A common question is whether steel case ammo works in a match-grade 1911. Some tightly fitted competition pistols prefer brass, so test a few magazines before committing to a large supply. Another common question is whether steel case ammo is allowed at indoor ranges. Many prohibit it, so check the rules before you go.

Tula TA452300 is new production ammunition, not reloads, and is imported. The steel cases are Berdan primed, magnetic, and not reloadable, with non-corrosive primers. Because you do not need to save the brass, cleanup is quick, and a magnet will pick up the empties. This listing ships as 500 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain FMJ, enough for a full handgun class or a couple of months of steady practice.
