The Hornady 45 Caliber (0.454") 255gr Cowboy ammunition is purpose-built for revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in .45 Colt, delivering reliable performance for both sport shooting and cowboy action competitions. This 200-round box provides shooters with consistent, historically-inspired ammunition that honors traditional ballistics while maintaining modern manufacturing standards. Whether you're preparing for Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) events or stocking reliable .45 Colt rounds for your collection, this product serves marksmen who demand authentic period-correct performance without compromise.

Each round features a 255-grain cowboy-style bullet constructed to deliver the soft-shooting characteristics essential for extended shooting sessions and competitive matches. The 0.454" diameter projectile is engineered for reliable feeding through traditional single-action revolvers and classic lever guns, with bullet construction that minimizes fouling and ensures consistent chamber ignition. Hornady's manufacturing quality control ensures uniform powder charges and primer seating across all 200 rounds, translating to predictable point-of-aim consistency and reduced flyer variance downrange—critical factors when precision and repeatability matter in timed competition.

Competitive shooters, historical reenactors, and .45 Colt enthusiasts benefit most from this ammunition's design philosophy. The 255-grain load profile generates moderate recoil impulse ideal for rapid shot recovery in fast-draw scenarios, while velocity remains sufficient for ethical hunting applications on medium game at reasonable ranges. Stock this ammunition for any .45 Colt revolver or lever-action rifle—compatibility is universal across modern and vintage firearms chambered in the classic .45 Colt cartridge, making this 200-round box an economical foundation for serious shooters.
