Description

This is a 500-round case of Sellier & Bellot 45 ACP loaded with a 230-grain full metal jacket bullet, built for shooters who burn through plenty of rounds at the range. It's a standard-pressure target and training load that feeds reliably in 1911s, polymer-frame pistols, and pistol-caliber carbines chambered in .45 ACP. With brass cases, boxer primers, and a non-corrosive load, it covers the everyday needs of practice shooting, qualification, and plinking. If you run a .45 regularly and want consistent ammo at case-quantity pricing, this is a straightforward choice from a manufacturer that has been loading cartridges since 1825.

Each round pushes a 230-grain FMJ bullet at a muzzle velocity of 853 fps, generating roughly 372 foot-pounds of muzzle energy per manufacturer specifications. The 0.451-inch bullet uses a standard lead core with a metallic jacket, which keeps barrels cleaner than exposed-lead loads over long range sessions. Cases are reloadable brass with large pistol boxer primers, so handloaders can recover and reuse the brass. Sellier & Bellot manufactures this ammunition in Vlašim, Czech Republic, to European proofing standards, and the load carries a ballistic coefficient of 0.115. The 230-grain weight matches classic .45 ACP ball specs, so point of impact tracks closely with most defensive loads in the same bullet weight, making it a sensible practice companion.

This case suits anyone running steady practice sessions, training classes, or competition stages where round counts climb fast. The full metal jacket profile holds up well on steel and paper, and the non-corrosive priming means no special cleaning routine after a day out. If you want to compare against other bulk options, we stock similar 230-grain FMJ loads like Magtech 45 ACP in 500-round packs and Blazer Brass 45 ACP cases, or step up to the 1,000-round Sellier & Bellot case.
