Federal Premium Personal Defense Punch .45 ACP +P 240gr ammunition puts serious stopping power on your side for self-defense and home protection. Built on the Punch line's proven platform, this solid core synthetic round combines heavy bullet weight with controlled penetration designed to handle barrier-resistant threats. The flat-nose lead projectile and Syntech polymer jacket work together to reduce friction and leading issues common to hard cast alternatives—meaning cleaner shooting sessions and more reliable function through your .45 ACP pistol.
Whether you're carrying for personal protection or keeping this load ready for defensive carry, the 240-grain .45 ACP +P delivers the kind of terminal performance that justifies the reputation Federal Premium has built in the self-defense category. The solid core construction maintains bullet integrity through bone and barrier materials, while the syntech jacket minimizes copper and lead deposit fouling. This is serious ammunition for serious responsibility.
Each box contains 20 rounds ready to load into your magazine. Federal Premium ammunition has earned trust across hunting, tactical, and personal defense applications by backing engineering with real-world testing. If you're serious about what you carry or keep within reach, the Personal Defense Punch deserves a place in your rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Personal Defense Punch and standard Federal .45 ACP?
Personal Defense Punch is purpose-built for defensive use with a solid core flat-nose bullet, +P loading for higher velocity, and syntech jacket technology designed to reduce fouling and improve performance through barriers. It's Federal's premium defensive line, not a target or practice round.
Will Federal Premium Personal Defense Punch work in my .45 ACP pistol?
These are .45 ACP +P rounds. Verify your firearm's manual to confirm it's rated for +P ammunition; many service pistols are, but some are not. If your gun is rated for standard .45 ACP only, use standard-pressure loads instead.
What's included in a 20-round box?
Each box contains 20 rounds of Federal Premium Personal Defense Punch .45 ACP +P 240gr ammunition, loaded and ready to use.
What does the Syntech jacket do?
The syntech polymer jacket reduces the friction that causes leading and fouling inside the barrel. This keeps your bore cleaner and helps the ammunition function more reliably through your firearm compared to hard cast alternatives.
