Description
This Remington Performance WheelGun load puts a 225-grain lead semi-wadcutter to work for exactly what it does best: clean target shooting. The semi-wadcutter design means you get that squared-off nose that cuts a neat, sharp-edged hole through paper. No more squinting at fuzzy scoring marks. The flat profile also slides into revolver cylinders with less fuss than a traditional full wadcutter, making loading faster and smoother.
Remington Performance WheelGun Ballistics and Reliability
You're looking at 830 feet per second muzzle velocity producing 344 foot-pounds of energy. That velocity range is right in the sweet spot for .45 Long Colt standard pressure loadingmanageable recoil without losing the consistency that keeps your groups tight. Remington's Kleanbore primers burn clean and produce minimal residue, which means less barrel fouling between sessions and better long-term maintenance.
Built for Reloaders and Range Sessions
The brass cases are new production and burrless, which means they chamber cleanly and perform the same way shot after shot. They're reloadable too, so if you're into handloading, these cases become a bonus component. That 225-grain bullet weight also matches what you'd find in a lot of defensive .45 Colt loads, making this ideal for practice that mirrors your carry or duty ammunition.
A Wheelgun-Specific Design
Remington built this line specifically around revolvers and lever rifles, not semi-automatics. The semi-wadcutter profile works better in cylinders and mag-fed lever actions than it would in an auto pistol anyway. Whether you're putting in work at the range, running competitive target matches, or just wanting ammo that performs the way you expect, this load delivers consistent, no-nonsense performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this .45 Long Colt ammo compatible with my revolver?
Yes, Remington Performance WheelGun is designed specifically for .45 Long Colt (also called .45 Colt or .45 LC) revolvers and lever-action rifles. The semi-wadcutter design works well in cylinder magazines. Always check your firearm's chamber markings to confirm compatibility.
Why does the semi-wadcutter design matter for target shooting?
The flat, squared-off nose of a semi-wadcutter cuts clean, sharp-edged holes in paper targets, making scoring much easier and more accurate. You won't get fuzzy hole edges or unclear scoring marks. Plus, the semi-conic profile loads smoothly into revolver cylinders without the loading difficulties you might get with a full wadcutter.
Can I reload the brass casings from this ammunition?
Yes. The brass cases are new production, non-corrosive, and burrless, making them ideal for reloading. They work as well on the first shot as they do on subsequent reloads, giving you a cost-effective option if you reload your own ammunition.
What makes Kleanbore primers better for my revolver?
Kleanbore primers burn clean with minimal residue buildup, which keeps your barrel cleaner between shooting sessions and reduces rust potential. This is especially valuable for revolvers where you want to keep the cylinder and bore in top condition with less frequent deep cleaning.
