Deep Dive

Overview

Federal Syntech 45 ACP Ammunition is primarily designed for target shooting and practice. The Total Synthetic Jacket minimizes metal-on-metal contact between the bullet and the barrel, which reduces friction and prevents leading in the barrel, enhancing the overall shooting experience. Since practice ammunition often leads to significant lead fouling, the TSJ provides an optimal solution by ensuring cleaner shooting with each session. Competitors and firearm enthusiasts will appreciate the high level of precision and control this ammunition enables.

History and Development

Introduced by Federal Ammunition, the Syntech line innovates traditional ammo design by incorporating a polymer coating. This design is particularly beneficial in maintaining firearm health by reducing heat and friction through its synthetic jacket. Federal, known for its innovative products, constantly pursues advancements that cater to both enthusiasts and professional shooters. The 45 ACP caliber is a long-established choice for its balance between accuracy and power, especially in competitive shooting formats.

Comments and Reviews on Federal Syntech 45 ACP Auto Ammo 230 Grain Synthetic Jacket Flat Nose - AE45SJ1
Nice shooting ammo. First time shooting synthetic jacket.....clean and accurate. Cycles well in an officer 1911.
Comments and Reviews on Federal Syntech 45 ACP Auto Ammo 230 Grain Synthetic Jacket Flat Nose - AE45SJ1
I have used this ammunition for approximately a year-and-a-half. Feeds flawlessly every time. The fact that I do not have to breathe lead vapors is a plus. Usually a little higher in price than other brands.Target Sports low pricing eliminates any reason to go to another brand and no I am not affiliated with Target Sports.

I use this ammo for target shooting
Comments and Reviews on Federal Syntech 45 ACP Auto Ammo 230 Grain Synthetic Jacket Flat Nose - AE45SJ1
I shoot with this ammo all the time and it works fine with my pistols and the price is right
Comments and Reviews on Federal Syntech 45 ACP Auto Ammo 230 Grain Synthetic Jacket Flat Nose - AE45SJ1
I've fired about 500 rounds of this ammo in a various 1911 style pistols and have another 500 rounds waiting for firing. It is clean burning, cycles well and accurate for practice. I first had to get by the red coated projectile but it reduces lead exposure, and the target doesn't mind. Get it while on sale for value.
Comments and Reviews on Federal Syntech 45 ACP Auto Ammo 230 Grain Synthetic Jacket Flat Nose - AE45SJ1
Barrel stays cooler, accuracy is spot on, and not a lot of carbon on the slide. A bore snake, and a rag is all you really need for cleaning. No lead exposure is a plus. I'm very happy with these.

keep my gun clean and more power...
Comments and Reviews on Federal Syntech 45 ACP Auto Ammo 230 Grain Synthetic Jacket Flat Nose - AE45SJ1
This stuff is the cleanest ammo I've used as far as residue in the pistol is concerned. It also is, of course, designed to minimize lead and other heavy metal emissions to help save your brain and other organs from lead blood poisoning. I can't know whether the other claims are 100% true about its other advantages like reduced barrel temperature and wear, but those claims may be true nonetheless. Using "clean" ammo like this is a must for indoor shooting and probably should be mandatory at indoor ranges, if people care about their health. I hate being put in the position of a public scold, since I hate all that stuff when I hear it from the usual suspects, but there's no use breathing in more lead than you absolutely have to. I only had one malfunction shooting this stuff, a round that failed to feed, but this was in a brand new Glock 30 and it never repeated itself in about 300 rounds of shooting, so it may have been more about the need for the pistol to "break-in," than about some failure of the ammo. This is a pretty slow round, even by 45 ACP standards, but it still seems pretty accurate, and should be more than powerful enough to properly cycle your pistol. All in all, some great range ammo.

Works very well - solved problem of indoor range not allowing jacketed ammo.
