Product Overview
Federal Champion .45 ACP 230 grain FMJ ammunition (Part #WM52332) offers exceptional value and consistent accuracy for sport shooters, range enthusiasts, and tactical drill training. Manufactured in the United States, Federal Champion ammunition is designed using quality components to deliver low-fouling performance and reliable cycling in all major semi-automatic .45 Auto handguns and pistol-caliber carbines.
Featuring the traditional standard 230-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullet, this load mimics classic hardball profiles for smooth feeding down the ramp and uniform weight distribution. Clocking in at 830 fps out of a standard 5-inch test barrel, it generates 352 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Loaded with high-grade reloadable brass casings and non-corrosive Boxer primers, this 200-round bulk box makes stocking up simple while lowering cost per round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Champion .45 ACP brass reloadable?
Yes. Federal Champion ammo features standard reloadable brass casings and non-corrosive Boxer primers.
Is Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition good for self-defense?
FMJ rounds are intended primarily for target practice and training because they do not expand on impact. For personal protection, hollow point (JHP) ammunition is recommended.
Is this round subsonic?
Yes. With a factory muzzle velocity of 830 fps, this round stays well under the speed of sound (approx. 1,125 fps), making it naturally subsonic and suitable for suppressed shooting.
