Description
Magtech Cowboy ammunition is engineered for the specific demands of cowboy action shooting. These rounds feature 250-grain lead flat nose bullets loaded to gentle velocities that match the ballistics of period-correct firearms while offering smooth, manageable recoil for quick target transitions.
Magtech Cowboy Load Design
Every round uses 100 percent lead bullets without jackets or plating, which is critical for steel target work where jacket material can cause splash-back hazards. The flat nose profile delivers consistent accuracy at typical cowboy match distances and works reliably in single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles without jamming or feeding issues. At 760 feet per second muzzle velocity, these rounds meet all Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) specifications for sanctioned competition.
Magtech's Brass Casing and Reloadability
The ammunition ships in new production, non-corrosive brass cases that are Boxer primed for reliable ignition. Because cowboy action shooters often reload, the reloadable brass means you get a second and third life from each case. The lower pressure levels of these loads also extend brass life compared to full-power ammunition, which matters when you're processing hundreds of rounds between matches.
Beyond Competition
While designed for organized cowboy action events, these rounds work well for casual plinking and period-correct shooting with vintage or reproduction firearms. The manageable recoil makes extended range sessions less tiring, and the consistency means you'll know where your shots are going at 25 yards and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Magtech Cowboy ammo compliant with SASS competition rules?
Yes. These rounds are loaded to Single Action Shooting Society specifications with 100 percent lead bullets, low pressure, and velocity under 1000 fps for revolvers. They're approved for sanctioned SASS events and cowboy action matches.
Can I reload these Magtech brass cases?
Yes. The Boxer-primed brass cases are reloadable, which is why many cowboy competitors use them. The lower pressure levels of these loads also extend the life of reloaded brass compared to full-power ammunition.
What firearms work well with this .45 Long Colt load?
These rounds are designed for single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in .45 Long Colt. The 250-grain flat nose bullet cycles smoothly without feeding issues, and the soft recoil makes them especially pleasant for extended shooting in period-correct firearms.
Why use lead flat nose bullets instead of jacketed rounds?
Lead flat nose bullets are mandatory for cowboy action competition to reduce splash-back hazard from steel targets and maintain period authenticity. The solid lead design also provides reliable accuracy and energy transfer at typical cowboy match distances without the risk of jacket separation.
