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

Many 45 Colt practice loads use bare lead bullets, which leave lead in the bore and lead residue at indoor ranges. This listing is Fiocchi Range Dynamics 45 Colt 225 grain complete metal jacket ammo, MPN 45LCCMJ, sold as 500 rounds. It is a cleaner alternative for revolver and lever gun owners who shoot often.

Fiocchi lists this load at 750 fps. A complete metal jacket wraps the core fully, including the base, which reduces lead fouling in the barrel and lead exposure at the firing line. That makes it a good fit for indoor ranges and for owners who do not want to scrub lead out of their forcing cones after every session. The 225 grain bullet at a moderate velocity gives light, comfortable recoil in heavy single action revolvers. As with any jacketed practice round, it is meant for target shooting rather than hunting or defense.

This ammunition fits firearms chambered in 45 Colt, including the Ruger Blackhawk, Vaquero, and Redhawk in 45 Colt, Colt Single Action Army, Uberti and Cimarron single actions, Smith and Wesson Model 25 in 45 Colt, Taurus Judge and Raging Judge, and lever rifles such as the Henry Big Boy, Marlin 1894, and Winchester 1892 reproductions. A common question is whether 410 shells and 45 Colt are interchangeable. Only in revolvers such as the Taurus Judge that are specifically chambered for both. Another common question is whether this ammo is safe in antique revolvers. Original black powder era guns should be checked by a gunsmith before firing any modern smokeless load.

Fiocchi 45LCCMJ is new production ammunition, not reloads. It uses boxer-primed brass cases with non-corrosive priming, so you can save the brass for reloading. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 50 rounds for 500 rounds total from one lot. Consistent velocity from box to box helps you keep your sights set on the same point whether you shoot a revolver or a carbine.
