The Magtech 4440B Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period performance for competitive shooters and enthusiasts who demand reliable 44-40 Winchester loads. This lead flat nose cartridge replicates the ballistics of original frontier ammunition while meeting modern safety standards for cowboy action shooting competitions.
What Makes This Different
Magtech engineers this ammunition specifically for cowboy action shooting, using softer lead bullets that reduce wear on vintage firearms compared to jacketed alternatives. The 225-grain lead flat nose projectile provides the subsonic velocities required by most competitive organizations while delivering consistent accuracy. Factory-loaded rounds eliminate the time and equipment investment required for handloading period-correct ammunition.

This ammunition performs consistently across temperature ranges typical of outdoor shooting events. The lead flat nose design transfers energy effectively on steel targets while the moderate velocity reduces recoil for faster follow-up shots. Competition shooters report reliable cycling in both revolvers and lever-action rifles, with minimal leading in properly maintained barrels.
