The HSM 45C2N Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period-correct performance for single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles. This 45 Colt load features reduced velocities specifically engineered for Cowboy Action Shooting competition while maintaining reliable feeding and consistent accuracy across multiple firearm platforms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 45 Colt loads that generate excessive pressure and recoil, this cowboy-specific ammunition operates at lower chamber pressures while delivering smooth cycling in period firearms. The 200-grain round nose flat point bullet design provides optimal terminal performance on steel targets while reducing lead fouling compared to traditional soft lead projectiles. HSM's quality control ensures velocity consistency within 25 fps across the entire production lot.Key Features
