Product Overview
Winchester Target & Practice .45 ACP 230 grain FMJ ammunition (Part #USA45AVP) offers time-tested reliability and exceptional accuracy for target shooters, sport enthusiasts, and firearms instructors. Backed by generations of American manufacturing excellence, Winchester’s USA White Box line provides smooth feeding and clean-burning performance across all major semi-automatic .45 Auto handguns and pistol-caliber carbines.
Featuring a traditional 230-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) projectile, this round reduces barrel lead fouling and provides positive feeding down the ramp for uninterrupted training sessions. Traveling at 835 fps out of a standard test barrel, it generates 356 ft-lbs of muzzle energy to match classic hardball ballistic profiles. Loaded in durable, reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers, this 100-round range pack offers an economical way to stock up for practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Winchester Target & Practice .45 ACP brass reloadable?
Yes. Winchester USA ammunition uses standard reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers.
Is Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition good for personal defense?
FMJ rounds are intended primarily for target practice and range training because they do not expand on impact. For self-defense applications, expanding jacketed hollow point (JHP) ammunition is recommended.
Is this round subsonic?
Yes. With a factory muzzle velocity of 835 fps, this round operates below the speed of sound (approx. 1,125 fps), making it naturally subsonic and suitable for suppressed shooting.
