Ammunition - Cowboy Action
Cowboy Ammunition

In 1997, PMC introduced its .45 Colt cartridge to Cowboy Action  shooters, in packaging reminiscent of the style typical of the late 1800's.  For 1998, six new calibers will be available, all in the same "Old West"  packaging. Each of the new PMC smokeless powder loads will be authentic reproductions of the historic original cartridges, with lead flat point bullets and moderate velocities.

Pricing/Purchase

45 Colt

Hard-cast, 250 grain, lead flat point. Velocity: 800 ft./sec.. The most popular and widely used of the Old West cartridges, the venerable .45 Colt has withstood the test of time and is now enjoying a resurgence of popularity.

357 Magnum

Hard-cast, 158 grain, lead flat point. Velocity: 800 ft./sec. The PMC .357 is a "magnum" cartridge in case length only. It is designed to feed smoothly in .357 lever action carbines chambered for the longer magnum cartridge. Down-loaded velocity gives light recoil similar to .38 Special.

38 Special

Hard-cast, 158 grain, lead flat point. Velocity: 800 ft./sec. For the cowboys who prefer a very light recoiling, easy to handle, load that allows fast recovery from shot to shot. It offers the same velocity as our .357 load, but in the shorter .38 Special case.

44 Special

Hard-cast, 240 grain, lead flat point. Velocity: 750 ft./sec. The PMC smokeless .44 Special cartridge is loaded to provide somewhat reduced velocity and recoil from the original black powder load, making it more controllable and more pleasant to shoot.

44-40 Win

Hard-cast, 225 grain, lead flat point. Velocity: 725 ft./sec. Second only in popularity to the .45 Colt, which it pre-dated, the .44-40 Win. cartridge was among the very first to be chambered in both revolvers and carbines.

30-30 Win

Hard-cast, 170 grain, lead flat point. Velocity: 1300 ft./sec. First marketed in 1985 as one of the calibers available for the Model 1894 rifle, the 30-30 was the first American small-bore, smokeless powder sporting cartridge. It is an excellent candidate for Cowboy Action Side Matches.

45-70 Gov

Hard-cast, 405 grain, lead flat point. Velocity: 1350 ft./sec. The .45-70 was the official U.S. military cartridge from 1873 to 1892, issued in conjunction with the single shot Trapdoor Springfield rifle. This robust old cartridge has staged a major comeback.
