These venerable cartridges have been tested in LuckyGunner's own labs and are now available in 1,000 round bulk cases. Manufactured by Federal, this .45 ACP Bonded Hollow Point round provides excellent expansion, well above the median for .45 ACP. This mushrooming expansion translates to a reduce chance of overpenetration as well as more immediate threat stops. With a 230 grain projectile weight, these rounds match the majority of practice ammunition in the caliber and produce smooth function in full-size duty handguns.

Since 1922, Federal has been bringing some of the finest ammunition in the world to market. They offer an extensive range of calibers for a variety of uses including sport, practice, self-defense, and law enforcement. The Law Enforcement line specializes in bonded rounds that maintain the round's weight through barriers while maintaining the potential for threat-ending expansion. This ammo features nickel-coated brass casings which reduce friction and make cycling more dependable.

Made in the USA, Federal operates in Anoka, MN. This 1000 round case is a great value and can be yours today!

Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistics Test Summary

Ballistic gelatin testing is one of the best methods we have available today for predicting the real-world performance of self-defense ammunition. We’ve used Clear Ballistics synthetic gelatin to test over 150 handgun loads, including Federal 230 Grain. We fired 5 rounds into the gel with a four-layer cloth barrier to determine whether heavy clothing would affect the penetration and expansion characteristics of the bullet. All rounds were fired from a Kahr CW45 to reflect the type of short barreled compact pistols that are most commonly carried by legally armed citizens.

Above, you can find photos of the actual bullets suspended in the test medium. Images of the recovered bullets are below on the left and high-speed footage of the first bullet fired into the gel is below on the right. All of the data we collected from our test of Federal 230 Grain is in the chart below that along with diagrams that might give you an idea of how this load compares to other .45 ACP (Auto) products.

If you want to see the rest of our ballistic gel test results, all of that data is available in our handy interactive charts at Lucky Gunner Labs.
