The Federal Syntech Training Match .45 ACP 230gr 50-round box (Federal part no. AE45SJ2) is a range load that mimics the velocity, trajectory and point of impact of equivalent Federal HST duty ammunition. Federal Ammunition uses a 230-grain Syntech jacket flat nose bullet with a polymer jacket that reduces barrel heat and friction. The Catalyst primer ignites without lead or other heavy metals. Federal lists a muzzle velocity of 890 fps from a 5-inch test barrel. It is an easy way to put in realistic practice with a .45 ACP pistol.
