The HSM 38401N Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period-correct performance for 38-40 Winchester firearms with carefully loaded 180-grain round nose flat point bullets. This traditional loading replicates the ballistics and feel of original frontier cartridges while meeting modern safety standards for competitive shooting and historical firearms.
What Makes This Different
HSM's Cowboy Action line uses reduced-velocity loadings specifically engineered for vintage firearms and competitive shooting sports. Unlike standard high-pressure loads that can damage older actions, these cartridges generate approximately 25% less chamber pressure while maintaining reliable cycling. The 180-grain bullet weight matches historical specifications used in the American West, providing authentic recoil characteristics and downrange performance.Key Features
