The HSM 45S1N Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period-correct performance for 45 Schofield revolvers and cowboy action shooting competitions. This specialized loading replicates the ballistics and feel of original frontier cartridges while meeting modern safety standards. HSM's commitment to historical accuracy makes this ammunition the preferred choice for competitive shooters and collectors seeking authentic shooting experiences.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard high-pressure modern loads, this cowboy action ammunition features reduced powder charges that produce lower velocities and softer recoil. The 200-grain round nose flat point bullet design matches original 1870s specifications, providing the authentic feel competitive shooters demand. Velocities typically run 200-300 fps slower than modern defensive loads, reducing wear on vintage firearms while maintaining reliable cycling and accuracy.
