Hornady Custom Cowboy .45 Colt 255gr Ammunition

Description

Hornady's Custom Cowboy line delivers the kind of precision and reliability that competition shooters demand from their ammunition. This 255-grain load hits right at 725 feet per second, producing 298 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. That velocity keeps things smooth and manageable, which matters when you're working through a revolver quickly or putting rounds downrange for accuracy.

What makes these rounds stand out in the details. The bullets are swaged flat point design that flattens on impact rather than fragmenting, which is what you want from quality ammunition. Hornady uses clean-burning propellants that keep your gun cleaner between sessions, and the diamond knurling around the bullet base locks in lubricating wax across the entire bearing surface. This knurling system reduces the lead buildup that can accumulate over extended shooting, so you spend less time cleaning and more time at the range.

Authentic Performance for Cowboy Action Shooting

These loads are built specifically for the way people actually shoot cowboy action competition. The flat point profile and period-correct velocity give you the traditional feel shooters look for, and that moderate speed works reliably in older vintage revolvers as well as modern reproductions. The brass cases are fresh and new, which means they'll feed smoothly and cycle reliably round after round.

Built for Consistency and Accuracy

Every round is hand-inspected before it leaves the factory, so you know you're getting the same performance from the first round in the box to the last. The ammunition is loaded with matched primers and selected brass to keep velocity consistent, and that consistency translates directly to tighter groups and more predictable performance. Whether you're practicing for competition or working on your marksmanship, that kind of uniformity matters.
