45 Long Colt – 225 Gr CMJ – Fiocchi (45LCCMJ) – 500 Rounds

This 45 Long Colt load  delivers the kind of smooth, steady performance that makes long range sessions enjoyable instead of exhausting. Fiocchi built it for shooters who appreciate traditional revolver cartridges but still want modern consistency. The cartridge uses a 225 grain complete metal jacket bullet. That CMJ design fully encloses the lead core. As a result, shooters deal with less exposed lead during high-volume shooting.

Fiocchi pushes this load to 750 fps, which keeps recoil soft and manageable in most revolvers and lever guns. Therefore, the cartridge stays pleasant through extended sessions without losing the heavy-bullet feel that makes 45 Colt so satisfying to shoot. The 225 grain bullet also tracks well through steel drills and paper targets. Meanwhile, the moderate velocity helps preserve timing and rhythm during Cowboy Action practice or casual range work.

Unlike hotter hunting-oriented 45 Colt loads, this ammunition focuses on consistency and shootability. The recoil impulse feels broad and smooth rather than sharp. Additionally, the CMJ bullet keeps fouling under control better than many traditional exposed-lead designs. That matters during long training days when shooters do not want heavy smoke or excessive barrel buildup slowing things down.

Fiocchi also loads this ammunition in quality reloadable brass cases with dependable Boxer primers. Consequently, reloaders can recover valuable brass after every session. Each box contains 50 rounds, and each case includes 10 boxes for a total of 500 rounds. That quantity makes sense for serious revolver shooters who burn through ammunition regularly and prefer buying in bulk.

This is practical 45 Long Colt range ammunition with real staying power. It runs clean, recoils smoothly, feeds reliably in lever guns, and preserves the classic feel that made the cartridge legendary in the first place.
