Federal Syntech .45 ACP 230-grain Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) ammunition (brand part no. AE45SJ1) is built for high-volume range shooters who want to keep their pistol running cleaner for longer. Federal Ammunition coats the TSJ bullet in an exclusive polymer that prevents harsh metal-on-metal contact between the bullet and bore, eliminating the copper and lead fouling a standard FMJ leaves behind. Combined with clean-burning powders and the Catalyst lead-free primer, Syntech loads keep a gun cleaner shot after shot, so a shooter can put in more range time between cleanings and shoot better because of it. This is handgun ammunition for .45 ACP shooters who want a genuinely cleaner-burning range round.
