The Federal American Eagle .45 ACP 230gr full metal jacket load in a 100-round box (Federal part no. AE45A100) is American Eagle handgun ammunition built for target practice. Federal designs the American Eagle line to give recoil and velocity similar to self-defense and competition loads, so practice feels familiar and realistic. The 230-grain bullet leaves the muzzle at 890 fps with 404 foot-pounds of energy, loaded with clean-burning powders, Federal primers and brass. It makes sense for high-volume range practice with a .45 ACP pistol. Federal Ammunition sells it in a 100-round box.
