- 1000 Rounds of .45 ACP Ammo by Federal American Eagle - 230gr FMJ
Details
Ready for a dose of US History?
John Browning designed the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge in 1905 specifically for use in a semi-automatic pistol, namely another one of his popular inventions: the Colt M1911. Adoption of this firearm/ammo for the US Army during World War I is credited to another John; John T. Thompson. Thompson loved the .45 ACP and envisioned using it in an "Auto Rifle". Both the M1911 and the Thompson submachine gun were adopted by American troops by World War II, which makes the .45 ACP one of the most storied ammunition cartridges of the early 1900s in America.
Federal Ammunition has been produced in Anoka, Minnesota since 1922. An American brand known for consistent quality, Federal has partnered with the US Army for most of its history. During World War II the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant was developed and Federal was the lead contractor operating the plant for the War Department. During that time, they produced .30, .50, and last, but not least, .45 ACP. That's certification that Federal American Eagle .45 ACP is a great choice for your next trip to the range!

Ordered 1000 rounds of this ammo. Box came in a little beat up but nothing extreme from all the handling it goes through. Inspected every box and all rounds are there and good quality. Really love how quick they were able to get this delivered. Shoots perfect in the range. Definitely will be restocking from here! (Posted on 4/25/2024)

After checking out some of the other reviews I decided to buy a big box of this stuff. It shot great and very little cleaning of the gun afterwards. So I was very happy with that. (Posted on 7/13/2016)

I have always found Federal to be a reliable performer. I have only put 100 rounds through a brand new Glock 41 Gen 4; I was not disappointed. Shipment arrived quickly and the price was a bit above average. I would definitely reorder from Bulk Ammo. (Posted on 4/24/2014)

I also like PMC, but Federal is my favorite range ammo. I have ***never*** had a single jam, FTF, misfire, or other malfunction with FAE. I can't put a number on how many rounds I've used, but it's well into the thousands through my two Colt 1911s. It's among the cleanest .45 ammo out there. FAE is as problem-free as ammo gets, and fairly priced. Probably my overall favorite brand. (Posted on 6/3/2013)

I usually shot "White box" back before the apocalypse, because it was always readily available at wal-m. Now, I strictly shoot this & strictly buy from here because of the same reasons. I use this brand/type ammo in both my Springfield armory mil-spec 1911 (.45acp) as well as my Beretta 92fs (9mm). I have NEVER had a single malfunction with either weapon. .P.S. I have shot approximately 1,500 rounds of AMERICAN Eagle, bought from here, through both of my above mentioned everywhere everyday carry guns & I never have any question or worry if it will work when I need it most.

Ran about 500 rounds of this through a MK 23 with no issues. Most likely will buy more. Fairly clean and I seem to spend the same amount or time cleaning after these rounds as I would other Federal's. (Posted on 1/29/2013)

I've shot 3000 rounds of this through my XD45 and no problems at all. Fires pretty clean compared to white box. I can't say its a bargain because I pay less at my local Sacramento gun shop but since they were out of stock I picked up from here. (Posted on 10/25/2012)

This is my second time buying 1,000 rounds Federal .45 from Bulk Ammo. And I will probably be back. Couldn't ask for an easier process. Took awhile to get here (west coast) so that is understandable. I've put about 1,400 rounds of this through my Sig Sauer P220 and haven't had a single problem. Would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

Ran about 500 through my Kimber Super Carry and Colt Gold Cup Trophy which are both new. Not one problem, cleaner than some other ammo purchased at range which were not reloads only running factory loads because guns are so new. Purchase was easy and delivery was fast, beats running to store only to find out that they're out of stock. Ordering more soon! (Posted on 6/3/2012)
