Description

Federal Champion Training .45 ACP 230gr FMJ is a 50-round box of range ammunition for 1911s and other pistols chambered in the cartridge Federal lists as .45 Auto (Federal part no. WM5233). Federal loads Champion Training with quality brass and primers for accurate, affordable target practice. The 230-grain full metal jacket bullet leaves a 5-inch test barrel at 830 fps, the classic military-weight ball load for .45 ACP. It is the box to grab when you want a few magazines of practice without committing to a bulk pack.
