Federal American Eagle 45 Long Colt 225 Grain Jacketed Soft Point ammunition delivers proven performance for handloaders, cowboy action competitors, and lever-action rifle shooters seeking reliable practice loads with realistic ballistics. This 50-round box offering provides consistent velocity and bullet construction that mirrors the handling characteristics of higher-end loads, making it the go-to choice for shooters who want to develop muscle memory without premium ammunition costs.
Each round features a 225-grain jacketed soft point projectile propelled at 860 feet per second, generating the knockdown energy and penetration profile suited to medium-range rifle applications and responsible defensive carry in period-correct or modern platforms. The jacketed construction minimizes barrel fouling compared to lead-only designs, extending service life between cleanings. This velocity sweet spot balances trajectory with recoil management—critical for shooters maintaining sight picture through rapid-fire strings or long-distance precision work.
Intended for 45 Long Colt firearms including Colt Single Action Army clones, modern lever-action rifles, and custom single-shot platforms, Federal American Eagle 45LC provides the accuracy and consistency competition shooters and serious enthusiasts demand. Whether training for SASS events, developing loads for classic revolvers, or shooting heritage firearms, this ammunition offers the performance foundation needed for controlled, repeatable results downrange.
The 45 Long Colt caliber remains one of the most versatile cartridges for vintage and reproduced firearms, offering inherent accuracy advantages due to its large bullet diameter and moderate velocity envelope. Federal's American Eagle line has maintained consistent quality standards across decades of production, earning respect among competitors and recreational shooters who prioritize ammunition that performs identically shot-to-shot.
Each 50-round box ships in standard packaging designed for safe storage and easy inventory management, with clear headstamp marking for quick identification and record-keeping during reloading or load-development sessions.
