The HSM 45C1N Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period-correct performance for single action shooting sports and cowboy action competition. This 45 Colt load features a 250-grain round nose flat point bullet specifically engineered to meet velocity restrictions while maintaining consistent accuracy downrange.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 45 Colt loads that often exceed cowboy action shooting velocity limits, this ammunition maintains velocities under 1000 fps to comply with competition rules. The round nose flat point bullet design provides clean scoring on steel targets while reducing lead fouling compared to traditional soft lead bullets. HSM's consistent powder charges ensure shot-to-shot reliability essential for timed competition stages.
Key Features
- 250-grain round nose flat point bullet for clean target scoring
- Velocity optimized under 1000 fps for cowboy action competition compliance
- Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Consistent powder charges for reliable ignition and accuracy
- Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Boxer-primed cases with non-corrosive primers
- 50-round boxes with 10 boxes per case (500 total rounds)
This ammunition performs consistently across various single action revolvers including Colt SAA, Ruger Vaquero, and replica firearms. The moderate velocity reduces felt recoil for faster follow-up shots during competition stages while maintaining sufficient energy for steel target knockdown. The round nose flat point design cuts clean holes in paper targets for precise scoring in accuracy events.
