Description
Magtech's Cowboy Action line captures the spirit of old-time shooting while delivering modern manufacturing standards. These 200-grain lead flat-nose cartridges are specifically developed for cowboy action competitions, target work, and anyone who appreciates the authentic feel of period-correct shooting.
The Flat-Nose Advantage for Cowboy Shooting
The lead flat-nose design serves a real purpose in cowboy action events. Unlike rounded bullets, the flat nose feeds smoothly through single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles without hang-ups, and the squared-off shape creates a wider wound channel for steel plate targets. You get better accuracy, more reliable feeding, and the knockdown power you need to ring those targets consistently.
Ballistics Built for the Job
These load at 705 fps with 221 ft-lbs of energy, figures that closely match original 19th-century cowboy loads. The moderate velocity means less recoil and quicker shot recovery, which matters when you're running a sequence or trying to place tight groups. Magtech loads these to Single Action Shooting Society specifications, so they're compatible with SASS rules and other major cowboy action formats.

Magtech has controlled its ammunition manufacturing since 1926, overseeing everything from component selection through final assembly. Real shooters trust this brand because the quality is consistent box after box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 45 Colt cowboy loads work in lever-action rifles?
Yes, these are designed specifically for both single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles. The lead flat-nose bullet feeds smoothly through the loading gate and magazine tube of 45 Colt lever guns like the Winchester 1892 reproduction models. They're a popular choice for cowboy action rifles.
Can I reload these brass cases after firing?
Yes. These come in boxer-primed brass cases that are reloadable. The non-corrosive primers and quality brass make them suitable for reloading, which helps offset ammunition costs for frequent practice or competition shooters.
Are these loads SASS-compliant for competition?
These loads are manufactured to Single Action Shooting Society specifications, so they're built with SASS competition in mind. However, always verify that your specific load meets current competition rules before entering an event, as standards can vary by organization.
How does the 200-grain load compare to heavier cowboy loads?
The 200-grain version generates lower recoil and slightly faster handling compared to heavier 250-grain loads, making it easier to shoot quickly and accurately. Both weights are SASS-compliant, so it comes down to personal preference for recoil management and target feedback.
