45 ACP – 230 gr FMJ – Remington UMC (L45AP4 / 23726) – 500 Rounds

The 230 grain round nose has been the standard 45 ACP load since John Browning designed the cartridge for the 1911, and it is still the best way to practice with a 45. This listing is Remington UMC 45 ACP 230 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN L45AP4, sold as 500 rounds.

The heavy 230 grain FMJ moves at a relatively slow speed for a handgun, which gives the 45 ACP its familiar push rather than a sharp snap in recoil. The round nose profile feeds smoothly in 1911 magazines and in modern polymer-frame pistols. UMC is Remington’s training line, aimed at reliable function and consistent point of impact at an affordable price. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so it is for range use and training, not self defense.

This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 45 ACP, also called 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber, Ruger, and Rock Island, the Glock 21 and 30, the SIG P220 and P227, the HK USP45, the Smith and Wesson M&P45, and carbines like the KRISS Vector. A common question is whether 45 ACP and 45 GAP are interchangeable. They are not. The 45 GAP case is shorter, so match ammunition to the caliber marked on your barrel. Another common question is whether 230 grain is the right practice load if you carry a lighter hollow point. It works well, but practicing with a weight close to your carry load gives the most realistic training.

Remington L45AP4 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. The cases are brass and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 500 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain FMJ. Five hundred rounds from one lot covers a pistol course or a season of regular practice, and the brass cases are worth saving if you reload.
