The HSM 44S5N Cowboy Action ammunition delivers consistent performance for competitive shooting and period firearms enthusiasts. This 44 Special load features a 200-grain round nose flat point bullet specifically engineered for smooth cycling in lever-action rifles and single-action revolvers. The reduced-velocity design minimizes felt recoil while maintaining reliable terminal performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard pressure 44 Special loads, this Cowboy Action ammunition operates at reduced velocities around 750-800 fps, meeting competitive shooting requirements while preserving vintage firearms. The round nose flat point profile feeds reliably in tubular magazines and chambers smoothly in period-correct revolvers. HSM's consistent powder charges ensure shot-to-shot uniformity critical for competitive accuracy.
