Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition safe to shoot in older or vintage .45 Long Colt revolvers?
Yes. Fiocchi's Cowboy Action load is specifically designed with a mild 750 fps muzzle velocity and standard-pressure specifications, making it well-suited for both modern and older .45 Long Colt revolvers, including vintage single-action designs. Always verify your firearm's condition and consult a gunsmith if you have any concerns about using modern ammunition in an antique firearm.
Will the flat-point bullet feed reliably through lever-action rifles?
Absolutely. The lead round nose flat point profile is the traditional and preferred bullet shape for tube-magazine lever-action rifles chambered in .45 Long Colt. The flat nose actually improves safety in tubular magazines compared to pointed bullets, while also meeting the bullet-profile requirements for most Cowboy Action Shooting competitions.
Does the coated bullet really make a noticeable difference in fouling?
Yes — the polymer-coated lead bullet significantly reduces the amount of lead deposited in the barrel and forcing cone compared to uncoated lead bullets. It also produces less smoke during firing, which is a welcome benefit during extended range sessions or indoor competition stages. Cleanup time is meaningfully reduced without sacrificing the soft-shooting feel of a lead bullet load.
