Sellier & Bellot 45 ACP 165 gr FMJ Semi-Wadcutter XRG Defense ammo brings solid, reliable performance to the range or defensive role. This Czech-made centerfire handgun round combines a full metal jacket projectile with a semi-wadcutter profile in an intermediate weight that balances velocity, penetration, and shootability in the hard-hitting .45 ACP platform. Whether you're running drills with a 1911, a modern polymer-frame .45, or any other compatible handgun, S&B ammunition delivers consistent ignition and predictable ballistics you can count on.
The 165-grain semi-wadcutter design is less common than standard 230-grain .45 loads, making it an interesting choice for shooters looking to experiment with velocity and handling characteristics without stepping away from the proven .45 ACP cartridge. The full metal jacket construction is suitable for range use and training; the semi-wadcutter shape can deliver a flatter trajectory than heavier rounds, particularly in shorter barrel lengths. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you're buying in the standard handgun loading unit.
Sellier & Bellot has been manufacturing ammunition since 1825, and their centerfire handgun rounds are known for clean-burning powders, reliable primers, and solid quality control—the kind of everyday ammunition that makes practice affordable and trouble-free. If you shoot .45 ACP and want to try something a bit lighter and faster while staying with a trusted, widely available brand, this is worth a run through your favorite platform.

This is loaded with a full metal jacket, which is typically reserved for range training and practice rather than defensive carry. If you're looking for .45 ACP defense ammunition, consider hollow-point or expanding designs specifically engineered for that purpose.
Yes—if your firearm is chambered in .45 ACP, this ammunition is compatible. Always verify your firearm's chamber marking and consult your owner's manual to confirm.
The 165-grain semi-wadcutter is lighter than the more common 230-grain .45 ACP round. This typically results in higher velocity and a flatter trajectory, though we recommend testing it in your specific firearm to evaluate performance and reliability.
