Blazer Brass 45 ACP Ammo 230 Grain Total Metal Jacket - 5230S
Blazer Brass 45 Auto ammo loaded with a 230 grain total metal jacket is built for target shooting and high-volume practice. This load is listed at 800 feet per second with a muzzle energy of 327 foot-pounds. The 230 grain bullet weight and listed velocity place it in a subsonic velocity class, which is commonly valued for a lower sound signature compared to faster loads. The total metal jacket design fully encloses the core to support cleaner handling during loading and shooting. Blazer also specifies lead-free primers as part of the Clean-Fire configuration to reduce airborne lead at the firing line. This ammunition is packaged for frequent range use in convenient quantities. It is available in boxes of 50 and cases of 500, and bulk cases ship free through Target Sports USA.

Deep Dive
Overview
This 45 ACP ammo is intended for target shooting and training with 45 Auto pistols in both indoor and outdoor range settings. A 230 grain bullet is the common standard weight for 45 Auto, making it a familiar choice for practice and routine drills. The listed 800 fps velocity keeps the load in a subsonic velocity class, which many shooters prefer when they want a quieter shooting experience compared to higher-velocity loads.
History and Development
Blazer Brass is widely used for target shooting and general range practice, built around reloadable brass cases and consistent component selection. The line is commonly associated with clean-burning powders and CCI primer performance, supporting reliable ignition across a wide range of pistols. Blazer range ammunition is made in the United States to SAAMI specifications. Its focus is providing consistent performance at a practical cost for frequent shooters. The Clean-Fire configuration adds lead-free primers and a fully jacketed bullet style aimed at reducing lead exposure during practice.
