.45 ACP Ammo by Winchester Super Clean – 160gr Lead-Free FMJ

This cartridge’s 160 grain full metal jacket bullet is very light for the 45 Auto. That’s not due to its jacket, which is a normal copper shell. It’s because of its core, which is made of zinc (7.14 g/cm3 density) instead of lead (11.34 g/cm3 density). The zinc-core bullet won’t just give you a fast muzzle velocity, either (1,100 fps out of a 4” barrel, which is still subsonic). It will also avoid producing any lead gas as it’s cooked by hot propellant gasses inside the barrel.

Winchester really went above and beyond to create a healthier training experience. In addition to its lead-free bullets, this ammo is loaded with lead-free, antimony-free and barium-free Boxer primers. Its brass cases are reloadable, too! 45 ACP Ammo by Winchester

45 ACP Ammunition

John Browning developed the 45 automatic colt pistol, or 45 ACP cartridge in 1904 for use in what would become his iconic 1911 pistol. The design has its roots dating back to the 1890’s. At that point in time, the United States Calvary was testing various handgun calibers and determined that there was no caliber on the market large enough to take down the most determined of threats. Eventually, they would give up their 38 special firearms and ammunition in favor of handguns chambered in 45 ACP.

Handgun Calibers in Use

There are dozens of calibers of handgun ammunition that are widely used in the world today. Among American shooters, 9mm Luger is the most common as the 9mm pistol offers a relatively concealable package with enough power to neutralize most threats. Other popular calibers include 380 ACP, 40 S&W, and 45 automatic colt pistol. 45 ACP Ammo by Winchester
