Details
Manufactured under Federal's American Eagle brand, this product is brand new, brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. It is a staple range and target practice ammunition.
This is top of the line, American-made range ammo made by ATK (same company that makes Speer Lawman, CCI, Blazer Brass, etc) - it doesn't get any better.

Video Transcript:
American Eagle is Federal's top of the line range and training ammo. It has a great reputation for reliability and consistency. Federal ammo is made here in the US at their facility in Minnesota. All components are manufactured right in the same plant, allowing for a high level of consistency and quality control.
For this review, we shot a couple of boxes of American Eagle and .45 ACP with a 230 grain bullet. The bullet has a traditional lead core with the copper full metal jacket. The primers are, of course, non-corrosive, and the brass shell casings are great for reloading. We had one failure to feed while using this ammo in a Kimber 1911, but I'm pretty sure it was due to a bad magazine. The ammo worked great in all of our other test guns, and I've never had a problem with American Eagle functioning in any of the .45's I've previously owned.
We used a Springfield Armory XDM .45 to test the ammo from a benchrest at 15 yards. As I've come to expect from this brand, accuracy was great, and it was not difficult to keep almost all the rounds in one big group. I think American Eagle stands up to any other brand of practice ammo and represents one of the best values in its price range.

- Best range ammo for your .45 Glock Review by J
-
You need brass, and these are the cleanest, smoothest rounds around. Went through thousands of these on my G21 and not a single jam or misfire yet. Will always be my practice ammo of choice. Get them while you can....best .45 ACP on the market today. (Posted on 3/10/13)Quality Performance Value - Perfect 45 ACP ammo Review by Dave

Great ammo, decent price, great for reloading and perfect for shooting. Runs great in glocks, 1911s, etc. No complaints save for the price and considering the shortages because of the Government, it's not too bad. Lucky Gunner has the fastest shipping I've seen. I literally ordered it on Friday got delivered on Monday. (Posted on 3/4/13)Quality Performance Value - Good Ammo, Good price, Great Service Review by Allen

First of all, I was glad to see you had the ammo. I have been searching locally to find .45 caliber ammo with no luck in S.W. Florida. I love the way you do your sales, " if you got it you sell it, if you don't, then you don't have it, you don't advertise it. I ordered on a Saturday afternoon, it shipped on Monday, I received it bright and early Wednesday morning. You can't do any better than that. The money I saved in gas looking was a lot less than the shipping. You can count on me to continue to order from your company. Great job...

i have been shooting this ammo at the range and have been very satisfied with it. My Glock 21 has shot the ammo with no problems and good performance. LuckyGunner is a good company from whom to purchase. Delivery is very fast with most orders arriving just a few days after purchase. One of my insured orders was stolen and they replaced it with no hassle. The customer service personnel were very responsive and pleasant.

I highly recommend this ammo for range practice and target use. Shoots clean, accurate and never experienced any FTF or FTE. I like that American Eagle is made here in the USA. (Posted on 11/18/12)Performance Value Quality - 45 ACP American Eagle Review by TonyTiger1955

I just bought this Ruger 1911, and then bought ammo from LuckyGunner, only had to wait 4 days....... Received the ammo in good shape and packaged well...........Took 100 rounds out to the range and put this 1911 though it paces right out of the box.........I was impressed with the weapon AND the ammo, what a great day it was.........Thanks LuckyGunner for the way you do business...........Your the best........

Was having some feed issues with a high end semi-custom. Called the manufacturer and he actually recommended this or one other type of ammo, and to start with that and the original mag and start w/process of elimination. Long story short - the ammo was 100% problem-free in 3 brands of magazines. The problem: a out of spec run re-load ammo I'd been getting from a local store. Verdict: this is a solid, benchmark round. Reliable and well-priced. (Posted on 8/18/12)Performance Value Quality - GREAT AMMO! Review by MAKAROV

I just want to say I bought a box of these shells and went through the whole box with no jams or misfires. There was 1 shell that we didn't use because it looked like the nose got seated a little too far down and crooked so we didn't use that 1 shell, although it may have worked if we tried. Great ammo for the range or self defense in you prefer ball over HP for reliability or other reasons like local state legality. I was very impressed by this ammo. FEDERAL stamped on the casings.

Great price, excellent ammo for target practice. I have a Wilson Combat CQB. This ammo works great, no feed problems, very clean, nice tight groups:) (Posted on 1/15/12)Performance Value Quality - Good ammo; amazing shipping Review by Mike
-
This is good range ammo at a very good price. But what's most impressive is this REALLY heavy box arriving at my doorstep in two days. How did LuckyGunner do that? They must be shipping courtesy Star Trek or Santa Clause! Amazing. This is the premier ammo site in my opinion. (Posted on 12/14/10)Quality Performance Value

They were easy to find and navigate their web page.The selection was out standing and great prices. The thing that stood out the most was there customer service. You know all about your puchase and where it is until it reaches your front door, then they e-mail to make sure you recieved it. They are a company that knows customer service is what can make a company in difficult economic times."
