Are you asking for the performance specs or the manufacturer?
The traditional 45 ACP load for military use was a 230 grain FML round nose at about 830 FPS. At various times many manufacturers have supplied this ammo and I suppose currently the order would go to the lowest bidder.

If you are finding some, watch out for a crimped and/or non-standard sized primer pockets.
And most of it will be TZZ (Israeli) ammo. D.O.D. has also been buying small arms ammo from South Korea which is supposed to be pretty good. I haven't seen any American manufactured surplus .45 brass since the late 90s. TZZ is about the same quality as Winchester and TZZ also makes Match brass which is very good for light target loads. I used to have access to 55 gal. drums full of once fired .45 military brass. 500 for $5.00 Most of it was Federal and WCC and various really old headstamps from 1940 or 1950. It still loads and shoots real good.
