Description
The CCI Blazer 45 ACP 230gr FMJ load gives .45 ACP shooters an affordable, dependable way to spend more time at the range. CCI loads a 230 grain full metal jacket bullet at a rated 845 feet per second in a lightweight aluminum case, which keeps the cost per round down without giving up the consistent ignition CCI is known for. The 230 grain round nose bullet is the classic .45 ACP load, the same weight the cartridge was designed around, so practice with this box feels just like shooting a traditional hardball round.

- Made in Lewiston, Idaho by CCI
A good .45 ACP session mixes slow-fire accuracy work with faster strings to build recoil control. Keep a firm two-handed grip, and clean your pistol after each trip, since many 1911s run best when kept clean and well lubricated.
CCI has built ammunition and primers in Lewiston, Idaho since the 1950s, and the Blazer line was created to give shooters dependable practice ammunition at a fair price. Blazer aluminum ammo takes that idea further by replacing the brass case with aluminum, which is lighter and less expensive to produce. The result is a load that performs consistently box after box while keeping the cost of regular range trips down.
Aluminum-cased ammunition works in the same firearms as brass-cased loads of the same caliber. The cases use a primer system that cannot be reloaded, so collect your empties for recycling rather than reloading. Store the box in a cool, dry place for consistent performance.
Because the .45 ACP runs at relatively low pressure, recoil is more of a firm push than a sharp snap, which many shooters find easy to manage. That makes this load a good choice for longer range sessions and for newer shooters stepping up from smaller calibers. Aluminum cases cannot be reloaded, so there is no brass to chase after each string of fire.

Why Choose 230 Grain 45 ACP Ammo for Practice
The .45 ACP has been a favorite of 1911 shooters for more than a century, and the 230 grain bullet is its standard weight. This 230 grain 45 acp load produces the slow, heavy push the cartridge is known for and tends to shoot close to the sights on most .45 pistols.
The round nose full metal jacket bullet feeds reliably through older 1911s and modern polymer pistols alike, which makes this box a good choice for function testing a new or newly repaired gun. It also cycles well in .45 pistol-caliber carbines.
Full metal jacket bullets are built for training and target work, not expansion. Pair this load with a quality hollow point for personal protection.
1911 fans, full-size .45 pistol owners and anyone who wants affordable 45 acp aluminum ammo for regular practice will get dependable service from this 50-round box. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for .45 ACP, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
