Magtech .45 Long Colt Cowboy Action LFN Ammo FAQ:
The 200-grain bullet weight is a common and traditional choice for .45 Long Colt, offering a good balance of velocity and energy. It closely mimics the weight of original black powder loads, contributing to the historical accuracy desired in Cowboy Action shooting.
No, this is not a +P load. It's a standard pressure load designed to mimic historical .45 Long Colt ballistics, making it suitable for use in a wide range of firearms, including older models.
Lead bullets can leave more fouling in the barrel compared to jacketed bullets. However, the soft lead used in these bullets is less likely to cause excessive wear. Regular cleaning after use is recommended to maintain optimal accuracy and barrel condition.
This ammunition is designed to perform well in a variety of barrel lengths typical of .45 Long Colt firearms. It will provide optimal performance in barrels ranging from 4" to 7.5", which covers most single-action revolvers and carbines used in Cowboy Action shooting.
The recoil of this .45 Long Colt load is generally comparable to or slightly less than a standard .45 ACP load, despite the larger case capacity. This is due to the moderate velocity and the typically heavier revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered for .45 Long Colt.
The lead flat nose bullet design can maintain good accuracy at the typical ranges used in Cowboy Action shooting (usually under 50 yards). At longer ranges, it may be less aerodynamic than pointed bullet designs, but this is rarely a concern for its intended use.
Yes, this ammunition can be safely used in lever-action rifles chambered for both .45 Long Colt and .454 Casull. These rifles are designed to handle both cartridges, and the lower pressure .45 Long Colt will function reliably in them.
All ammunition can be affected by extreme temperatures, but this load is designed to perform consistently under normal temperature ranges. For best results, store and use the ammunition at moderate temperatures, avoiding prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold.
