45 ACP - 230 Grain JHP - Sellier & Bellot - 50 Rounds

This 45 ACP cartridge by Sellier & Bellot sports a 230 grain jacketed hollow point projectile, the same bullet weight offered by the caliber when it was first introduced. The bullet’s jacket, which is 90 percent copper and 10 percent zinc, not only protects a pistol’s bore against rapid lead fouling, but also facilitates in penetration and has indentations along its nose which control the planes along which expansion occurs. The round’s 889 fps muzzle velocity is just a shade faster than what is typical for a government issue M1911A1, and certainly complements the round’s great stopping power. This cartridge also features a responsive and non-corrosive Boxer primer, as well as a precisely formed factory fresh brass casing, the perfect combination for handloading. These cartridges are designed to feed and function in any number of firearms, making them a versatile choice whether you would load them in a bread and butter 1911 or an uncommon Luger carbine.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
