45 ACP – 230 Grain VHP – Federal Train + Protect – 50 Rounds

These .45 Auto loads from Federal fit the bill for both high-volume training and personal defense duty. Federal’s brand new Train + Protect line offers a turnkey solution to purchasing ammunition which utilizes VHP (versatile hollowpoint) projectiles that are effective on threats but inexpensive enough to use for silhouettes. Each 230-grain bullet has a wide-mouth cavity with a pre-skived copper jacket that dependably produces wide expansion during entry into a target; this effect transfers greater energy to vital zones while cutting the risk of over-penetration. The copper jacket encapsulates the base of the bullet which reduces lead fouling for more reliable operation and tighter accuracy over time.

Federal crimps the bullet into a reloadable brass casing that is equipped with a non-corrosive Boxer primer. A small median-crimp at the bullet’s base prevents setback from jostling and ensures consistent performance, chambering, and ignition. Federal Premium has been around since 1922 and has earned a reputation for uniform quality across a wide range of products. Their ammo has been trusted to fill freezers, patrol city streets at all hours, and help the U.S. Olympic shooting team bring home gold medals.
