FIOCCHI 45 COLT 250GR LRNFP 50/500

Description

Fiocchi’s Cowboy Action line was built around the demands of Cowboy Action Shooting, a discipline that rewards smooth, repeatable performance over raw power. This .45 Colt load is loaded to produce noticeably softer recoil than standard pressure loads in the same caliber, which matters when you are running a stage and need consistent splits without fighting muzzle rise between shots.

The 250-grain Lead Round Nose Flat Point bullet is the right choice for this sport for a practical reason: the flat nose knocks steel targets down more reliably than a round nose of equal weight, because the energy transfers across a broader contact area rather than glancing off. The lead construction is bare, but Fiocchi applies a protective coating that slows fouling buildup in the bore and reduces leading at the forcing cone — both of which add up to less time cleaning between matches.

Propellant selection here is deliberate. The double-base powder Fiocchi uses in this load maintains consistent velocity across a range of ambient temperatures, so the point of impact holds whether you are shooting a cold morning match or a hot afternoon. At 750 feet per second, this is a mild load by .45 Colt standards, which is exactly where you want to be for target use. The brass cases are boxer-primed and reloadable, which is worth noting for shooters who go through volume and reload their own components. Each box contains 50 rounds.
