45 ACP – 230 gr TMC – Ammo Inc stelTH (45230TMC-STL) – 1000 Rounds

Suppressor owners and indoor range regulars look for 45 ACP that runs quiet, clean, and slow, and the Ammo Inc Stelth line is aimed squarely at that shooter. This listing is Ammo Inc Stelth 45 ACP 230 grain total metal case ammo, MPN 45230TMC-STL, sold as a 1,000 round case.

Ammo Inc lists this load at 757 fps with 293 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, well below the speed of sound, so there is no supersonic crack to add to the report. That makes it a natural match for a suppressed 45 ACP pistol or carbine. The total metal case jacket fully encloses the lead core, including the base, which reduces lead exposure at indoor ranges and keeps suppressor baffles cleaner than exposed-base bullets. The 230 grain weight is the classic 45 ACP ball weight, so point of impact is familiar. It is a training load, not a defensive load, because the bullet does not expand.

This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 45 ACP, also called 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Kimber, and Ruger, the Glock 21 and 30, the HK USP45 and HK45, the SIG P220, the Smith and Wesson M&P45, and carbines such as the KRISS Vector and Thompson. A common question is whether a lower velocity load will cycle every 45. Most full-size pistols run 230 grain loads at this speed, but some compact guns or pistols with heavy recoil springs or suppressor boosters may need testing, so try a box first. Another common question is whether standard 45 ACP is already subsonic. Most 230 grain 45 ACP is, which is one reason the caliber is so popular for suppressed shooting.

Ammo Inc 45230TMC-STL is new production ammunition, not reloads, and Ammo Inc states it is made in the USA. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. This case holds 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain TMC. One lot across the case keeps function consistent through a suppressor, where small changes in pressure can affect cycling.
