Federal American Eagle Syntech Action Pistol .45 ACP ammunition (part no. AE45SJAP1) loads a 220-grain Total Synthetic Jacket flat-nose bullet built specifically for the power-factor requirements of action shooting sports. Federal Ammunition wraps the bullet in its exclusive Total Synthetic Jacket, a polymer coating that stops metal-on-metal contact between bullet and barrel, cutting copper and lead fouling along with the heat and friction that build up during high-volume competition strings. A Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning powder keep it shooting soft and consistent run after run, while the heavy, flat-nosed bullet gives more reliable knockdowns on steel targets. In handgun ammunition built for competitors who shoot thousands of rounds a month, Syntech Action Pistol is engineered to keep guns cleaner and shooters faster.
