Description
If you've got a .45 Long Colt revolver or lever rifle, this ammunition from Remington hits different than mass-produced rounds. The Performance Wheelgun line is engineered specifically for the wheelgun crowd, using high-quality components and their time-tested Kleanbore primer technology to keep your barrel clean and corrosion-free.
What makes this Remington .45 Long Colt load work
Each round carries a full 250-grain lead round nose bullet seated in new brass. That heft matters when you're working precision groups on paper or steel. The lead round nose profile is the traditional choice for revolvers and lever guns because it feeds reliably and leaves clean, easy-to-score holes in targets. At 750 fps muzzle velocity, it strikes a balanced tone between power and recoil management—you can run extended practice sessions without beating yourself up. The Kleanbore primers deliver consistent ignition while producing minimal residue, so your barrel stays cleaner between cleanings.
Who this ammunition serves
These rounds are purpose-built for target shooters and range enthusiasts who own quality .45 Long Colt firearms. They work well whether you're breaking in a new single-action revolver, maintaining marksmanship with a vintage piece, or running cowboy action stages. Reloadable brass means handloaders can get extra value from every box. Fifty rounds per box makes for a solid practice session without excessive bulk.
Remington's 200+ years in the ammunition business shows up in the consistency here. These aren't exotic loads or niche specialty rounds—they're straightforward, reliable ammunition that does what it's supposed to do, box after box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Remington .45 Long Colt work in my revolver?
Yes. This ammunition is specifically loaded for .45 Long Colt chambered revolvers and lever-action rifles. The 250-grain lead round nose bullet and conventional power level make it suitable for vintage single-action revolvers, modern reproductions, and contemporary lever guns chambered for .45 Long Colt. Always verify your firearm is chambered for .45 Long Colt and not .45 ACP before loading.
Can I reload the brass from this ammunition?
Yes, the brass cases in this box are Boxer-primed and fully reloadable. Handloaders appreciate Remington's consistent quality and clean primer pockets. The brass can be reused multiple times, making this an economical choice if you're planning to handload.
What's the difference between this load and other .45 Long Colt ammunition?
The key is Remington's Kleanbore primer technology, which produces minimal residue and prevents rust and corrosion in your barrel. This load is also built for traditional revolver and lever rifle use, not for +P or magnum applications. The 750 fps velocity is conservative and reliable, making it ideal for range practice rather than specialized hunting or defensive roles.
Is this ammunition suitable for cowboy action shooting?
Yes, this is a popular choice for cowboy action shooters. The traditional lead round nose bullet and moderate velocity are well-suited to the discipline. The clean-shooting Kleanbore primers and reloadable brass add to the appeal for competitors who plan to shoot frequently.
