45 Auto 230gr Full Metal Jacket 50/box

The Magtech 45 Auto 230gr Full Metal Jacket 50/box is a dependable, affordable round purpose-built for target shooting, training, and range practice in .45 ACP platforms. With over a century of proven 230-grain projectile design in the 45 Auto caliber, this cartridge combines consistent performance with cost-effective practice ammunition for shooters who demand reliability without premium pricing. Law enforcement and military training programs favor this load for its consistent velocity, predictable trajectory, and low-flash characteristics ideal for indoor range environments.

The full metal jacket construction features a lead core enclosed in a copper-alloy jacket, eliminating exposed lead and reducing airborne particulates—critical for indoor shooting facilities with ventilation constraints. This 50-round box delivers a ballistic coefficient of 0.162, which reflects the aerodynamic efficiency of the 230-grain projectile in subsonic flight, typical of standard 45 Auto loadings. Magtech's manufacturing standards ensure consistent case dimensions, primer seating depth, and powder charge tolerances that translate directly to tight shot groups and minimal keyholing, even in well-used training firearms. The FMJ design also prevents bullet deformation on impact, preserving consistent penetration depth for ballistic testing and indoor-range safety compliance.

This ammunition is ideally suited for law enforcement qualification courses, military unit training cycles, and civilian competitive shooters logging high round counts during skill development. The 45 Auto platform—including M1911 variants, M45 MEUSOC, and modern polymer-frame .45 ACP pistols—chambers this round without modification, making it universally compatible across standard defensive and tactical platforms. Each 50-round box ships at 2.4 lbs, offering a practical balance between portability and training efficiency when staging multiple courses of fire or extended practice sessions.
