Magtech Cowboy Action 45 Colt 200 grain flat nose ammunition puts SASS-compliant ballistics in your single-action revolver for competition and range work. Chambered in 45 Colt (Long Colt), this load pushes a 200 grain lead flat nose bullet to 706 fps and 220 ft-lbs at the muzzle—velocity tuned for steel plate authority without excessive recoil. Magtech manufactures every component in-house, from primer to brass, maintaining full quality control through the production line. Each round is assembled to Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) load specifications, designed for the demands of timed Cowboy Action stages where reliability and consistent point of impact separate podium finishes from also-ran scores.
Built for the Box
The 200 grain flat nose profile offers two functional advantages in SASS competition: a crisp cut on paper targets and enough frontal area to reliably tip steel plates at regulation distances. Lead construction keeps bullet cost down for high-volume practice, and the flat nose seats consistently in tubular magazines on lever-action carbines when shooters run revolver/rifle stages back-to-back. Boxer primers seat in reloadable brass cases, and Magtech’s non-corrosive formulation protects your Colt SAA, Ruger Vaquero, or clone from chamber pitting during extended match seasons. Muzzle energy of 220 ft-lbs balances steel-tipping force against manageable recoil for rapid follow-up strings in multi-target arrays.

This load suits Cowboy Action match shooters running wheelgun and rifle combinations where ammunition must feed reliably in both platforms. The flat nose profile cycles smoothly in tubular magazines, and the 706 fps velocity keeps felt recoil mild for rapid transition between targets. Brass cases support multiple reloading cycles when you stockpile spent hulls for off-season load development. Find more defensive and competition loads in our 45 Long Colt ammo category.
