The Magtech 4440C Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period-correct performance for competitive shooters and historical firearms enthusiasts. This 44-40 Winchester cartridge features a 200-grain lead flat nose bullet specifically engineered to meet Cowboy Action Shooting Sports Association (SASS) requirements while maintaining exceptional accuracy in vintage and replica firearms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike modern jacketed bullets that can damage softer steel targets, the pure lead flat nose design eliminates ricochet concerns while producing clean, visible holes in steel plates. The reduced velocity loading generates approximately 25% less felt recoil than standard hunting loads, enabling faster follow-up shots during timed competitions. Each cartridge uses premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness to ensure reliable extraction in lever-action rifles with tight chambers.
Key Features
- 200-grain pure lead flat nose bullet eliminates steel target damage
- Reduced velocity loading minimizes felt recoil for faster target transitions
- SASS-compliant specifications meet all Cowboy Action Shooting requirements
- Premium brass cases ensure reliable feeding and extraction
- Consistent powder charges deliver shot-to-shot accuracy
- Non-corrosive primers provide long-term storage reliability
- Bulk packaging reduces per-round cost for high-volume shooters
The flat nose bullet profile creates clean cuts through paper targets and produces distinct sound signatures on steel, making it ideal for both practice sessions and sanctioned competitions. The moderate velocity maintains sufficient energy for metallic silhouette shooting while remaining within SASS power factor limits. This ammunition functions reliably in Winchester 1873, Marlin 1894, and Uberti replica firearms commonly used in Cowboy Action competitions.
