This Sellier & Bellot 45 ACP load packs 500 rounds of 230-grain full metal jacket into a single case, built for shooters who burn through ammo at the range. The 230-grain FMJ projectile is the standard weight that 45 ACP shooters have trained on for over a century, giving you the recoil impulse and point of impact you expect from your carry gun without the cost of defensive hollow points. It's a straightforward target and practice round for plinking, qualification, and high-round-count training sessions. For volume buyers, this case format keeps the per-round price down.
Each round uses a brass case with a boxer primer, so the spent brass is fully reloadable if you handload your own 45 ACP. The 230-grain bullet runs a standard lead core inside a metallic jacket measuring 0.451 inches, and it leaves the muzzle at 853 fps with 372 ft-lbs of energy per the manufacturer's published figures. The ballistic coefficient is rated at 0.115. Sellier & Bellot loads this ammunition to European proof-house standards at their plant in Vlašim, Czech Republic, where the company has produced cartridges since 1825. It ships non-corrosive and packaged 50 rounds per box, ten boxes to the 500-round case.
If you shoot a 1911, a Glock 21, an FNX, or any other 45 ACP pistol on a regular basis, buying by the case cuts down on reorders and keeps you stocked through long training blocks. This load is built for paper, steel, and informal plinking rather than carry, so pair it with a dedicated defensive round for everyday use. We carry several other 45 ACP options in 500-round and 1,000-round cases, including Magtech 230gr FMJ and Blazer brass, so you can compare price and availability across brands.
This is a 230-grain full metal jacket load built for target shooting, training, and plinking. FMJ rounds do not expand, so most shooters reserve them for the range and carry a jacketed hollow point for defensive use. It does give you the same 230-grain weight and recoil as many defensive 45 ACP loads, which makes it solid practice ammo.
Yes. Sellier & Bellot loads this ammunition in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers. If you handload your own 45 ACP, the spent cases can be cleaned, resized, and reloaded. The single boxer primer pocket makes decapping straightforward compared to berdan-primed brass.
This case holds 500 rounds of 45 ACP, packaged 50 rounds per box across ten boxes. The case format brings the per-round cost down for shooters who go through a lot of ammo during qualification or extended range sessions.
Per Sellier & Bellot's published figures, the 230-grain FMJ leaves the muzzle at 853 fps and carries 372 ft-lbs of energy. The listed ballistic coefficient is 0.115. These numbers are typical for standard-pressure 45 ACP target ammunition.
No. This Sellier & Bellot 45 ACP is non-corrosive and uses a boxer primer, so standard cleaning after a range session is all your pistol needs. There is no special post-shooting cleaning required as there would be with old surplus corrosive ammo.
