Magtech .45 Long Colt Cowboy Action Ammo FAQ:
While this ammunition is designed for most .45 Long Colt firearms, it's always important to check your firearm's manual for specific ammunition recommendations. Some modern firearms may have restrictions on using lead bullets or may require different pressure ratings.
This ammunition is primarily designed for cowboy action shooting and target practice, not self-defense. For self-defense applications, it's recommended to use ammunition specifically designed for that purpose, which typically features different bullet designs and performance characteristics.
The 250gr bullet weight, combined with the moderate velocity of 760 fps, generally produces a noticeable but manageable recoil. It typically results in a push-like feeling rather than a sharp snap, which many shooters find comfortable for extended shooting sessions.
No, Magtech uses non-corrosive primers in their modern ammunition. This means you don't need to worry about accelerated corrosion in your firearm's barrel or action when using this ammo, though regular cleaning is still recommended.
Yes, the brass cases used in this ammunition are reloadable. However, it's important to follow proper reloading procedures and consult reliable reloading data to ensure safe and effective reloads.
Yes, this ammunition is suitable for use in original Colt Single Action Army revolvers and their modern reproductions. However, as with any vintage firearm, it's advisable to have the gun checked by a qualified gunsmith to ensure it's in good condition for shooting.
Lead bullets generally perform well on steel targets, creating clear, audible feedback upon impact. However, it's important to use appropriate distance and target thickness to prevent splashback and ensure safe shooting practices.
Extreme temperatures can affect ammunition performance. In very cold conditions, you might see slightly lower velocities, while hot conditions could increase pressures slightly. However, within normal temperature ranges, you should expect consistent performance.
No, this ammunition is not suitable for Cowboy Mounted Shooting events. Those events typically use specially loaded blank ammunition for safety reasons. This Magtech load fires a projectile and is intended for target shooting and standard cowboy action shooting competitions.
The flat nose bullet design is less aerodynamic than pointed bullets, which can limit long-range performance. However, for the typical ranges used in cowboy action shooting (usually under 50 yards), this is not a significant factor.
