Federal American Eagle ammunition in .45 ACP (brand part no. AE45N1) is a range-day handgun load built for consistent function magazine after magazine. Federal manufactures this load to consistent tolerances, so every box performs the same as the last. At the heart of this load is the 230 gr bullet with a total metal jacket (tmj) design, matched to the .45 ACP platform shooters already run. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the Federal load built for that job.
