Cowboy action shooters go through ammunition quickly across revolver and rifle stages, and they need loads that are mild, accurate, and safe on steel. This listing is Fiocchi Cowboy Action 45 Colt 250 grain lead round nose flat point ammo, MPN 45LCCA, sold as 500 rounds. Fiocchi designed it specifically for the single action revolvers and lever guns used in the sport.
Fiocchi lists this load at 750 fps. That modest velocity produces light recoil, fast recovery between shots, and reduced splatter on steel targets. It is also well under the velocity limits that cowboy action rules set for revolver ammunition. The 250 grain lead bullet has a flat point, which makes it safe to load in the tubular magazines of lever action rifles, since the nose of one round rests against the primer of the round in front. This is target and competition ammunition, not a hunting or defense load.
This ammunition fits revolvers and rifles chambered in 45 Colt, also called 45 Long Colt, including the Colt Single Action Army, Ruger Vaquero and Blackhawk, Uberti 1873 Cattleman, Cimarron Model P, Taurus Judge and Smith and Wesson Governor, and lever rifles such as the Marlin 1894, Henry Big Boy, Uberti 1866 and 1873, and Rossi R92. A common question is whether 45 Colt and 45 Long Colt are different. They are the same cartridge, and the names are used interchangeably. Another common question is whether 45 Colt ammo works in a 45 ACP. No. These are different cartridges and cannot be swapped.
Fiocchi 45LCCA is new production ammunition, not reloads. It uses boxer-primed brass cases, which cowboy shooters often reload, with non-corrosive priming. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 50 rounds for 500 rounds total from one lot. A consistent lot means your revolvers and rifle shoot to the same point all match long, and 500 rounds covers several matches and practice sessions.
