1000 Rounds of 230gr JHP .45 ACP Ammo by Federal Classic

Prior to that worst-case scenario occurring, you should be thinking ahead. Get the proper training, and be prepared. This means working not only on shot placement and accuracy but honing your skills shooting with your weak hand and from behind cover, among others. Avoid places and scenarios that are clearly not a good idea; don’t knowingly put yourself in a dangerous situation. Part of being a responsible gun owner is preparation. Be prepared, and hopefully you’ll never have to use your training or your gun. But it’ll be there if you need it, and that should absolutely give you peace of mind.

Another factor of being a responsible gun owner is loading your carry weapon with quality defense rounds. You want ammunition that performs reliably, cycles dependably, and is capable of one-shot stopping power (which has a bit to do with caliber as well, so do your homework). Target rounds simply penetrate your target and keep traveling; they’ll wound, but aren’t nearly as likely to halt and attacker. And even more importantly, their over-penetration tendencies put innocent bystanders at risk. Good defense rounds decelerate as they penetrate your intended target, coming to a halt so the only damage is done to your attacker. These Federal rounds are an excellent choice; here’s why.

These are heavy 230 grain rounds; more weight means more damage. They’re JHPs, which means expansion is carefully controlled for greater penetration, and that means a deeper, more devastating wound channel. Jacketing also means the bullet is stronger overall and cuts down on lead fouling. Each of these rounds has a muzzle velocity of 900 feet per second and muzzle energy of 414 foot-pounds. This is superb defense ammunition, but you shouldn’t just load your gun and be done. Defense rounds have more felt recoil and increased power overall, so it’s smart to spend some time training with your chosen defense rounds to ensure your own performance if you ever do have to defend your life.

There are 1000 defense rounds here, so you can keep your gun ready and train, too. Federal manufactures this ammunition at their plant in Anoka, Minnesota. Don’t wait for the worst to happen. Order now, train hard, and be ready for anything.
