Who is the Norma Range & Training .45 ACP 230gr FMJ 50 Pack for?

• Competitive practical shooting and IPSC handgun competitors — Delivers predictable recoil control and flat target performance in this 45 ACP target ammunition category through a standardised 230 grains bullet weight running at 853 fps muzzle velocity.

Less suitable for: Applications requiring expanding terminal performance or high-pressure specialized loads; users requiring terminal energy transfer for hunting should select expanding jacketed hollow-point (JHP) ammunition rather than non-expanding FMJ projectiles, while shooters using .460 Rowland or .45 Super chambers require higher-pressure ammunition rated specifically for those specialized calibres.
