Federal Gold Medal 45 ACP 185gr FMJ-SWC GM45B Overview

Federal Gold Medal 45 ACP 185 grain full metal jacket semi-wadcutter GM45B ammo uses a pronounced bullet shoulder for deliberate target shooting. The jacketed 185-grain design departs from the rounded nose of traditional 230-grain 45 ACP ball. Its flat front and shoulder make the projectile shape more important here than a generic FMJ designation.

A semi-wadcutter shoulder is valued in paper-target disciplines because it can cut a clearly defined scoring edge. The jacketed exterior distinguishes this Gold Medal bullet from an unjacketed lead semi-wadcutter, even though both share the broad shoulder concept. Federal lists 770 fps for this ammunition.

The truncated profile can interact with a pistol's feed system differently from ordinary round-nose hardball, making a function check relevant before a match. A target pistol already set up for semi-wadcutters gives shooters a useful setting in which to evaluate this specific 185-grain ammo. Federal packages the brass-cased cartridges in 50-round boxes.
