Do you own a Colt Single Action Army, Taurus Judge, S&W Governor, Henry lever-action rifle, or any other firearm chambered for 45 Long Colt? Then we’ve got your next case of target ammo!

This ammunition is manufactured in the United States by Military Ballistics Industries. We normally sell MBI’s reloaded ammo, but this 45 Colt is exceptional. It features virgin, brand new, never before fired brass cases – as well as clean-burning propellant and noncorrosive Boxer primers, so you can reload it yourself if you’d like to.

This round’s 250 grain bullet is perfect for target shooting. The round nose flat point bullet’s name is somewhat self-explanatory. It has the same profile as a conventional round nose bullet, but its tip ends in a flat circle instead of a gentle peak. Its profile makes the RNFP optimal for lever guns’ magazines.

What really sets this round’s bullet apart is its jacket, which is made of polymer instead of gilding metal. A polymer jacket has several advantages. It cannot leave metal residue behind inside a firearm’s barrel. It significantly reduces friction as the bullet passes through a barrel, which helps to extend the barrel’s lifespan. And because polymer is much less rigid and brittle than gilding metal, this round’s bullet presents a much lower risk of hazardous splash-back if it strikes a hard surface. The bullet’s jacket also prevents heat from vaporizing the base of its lead core, which makes it optimal for training in stuffy indoor ranges.

Q: Can I shoot these in my uburti cap and ball conversion

Posted On: 4/26/2024 By: Robert

A: Hi Robert! If your revolver has the Uberti 1858 revolver conversion cylinder, which converts a .44 black powder revolver to fire 45 Colt smokeless ammunition, then it should safely fire this ammo.

Q: Will these fire in my S W Governor.

Posted On: 3/1/2024 By: Chris

A: Yes sir, this ammo's a fine choice for your Gov.

Q: Will this round work in a Taurus Raging Hunter chambered in 460? I'm told 45 Colt works but wasn't sure if "Long Colt" makes a difference.

Posted On: 12/7/2023 By: Nickolas Chaney

A: Hello Nickolas! You can indeed fire 45 Colt (aka 45 Long Colt; just a different name for the same exact cartridge) in a 460 S&W Magnum revolver. You can also fire 454 Casull and 45 Schofield.

Q: Would this ammo be suitable and safe for a converted black powder revolver? I have a cap+ball revolver with a 45 Colt cartridge conversion cylinder. It specifies "Lead ammo that does not exceed 850 fps velocity." Modern copper jackets are prohibited due to pressure considerations and bullet hardness, but I'm hoping this "jacket" is more like the hard wax coating on an externally lubricated bullet.

A: Thanks for reaching out, traditional American technology enthusiast! Like you, I'm inclined to believe that this round's polymer jacketed projectile would not create overpressure or damage the revolver's barrel. That said, I cannot advise contradicting the manufacturer specification: lead bullet, 850 fps max muzzle velocity. I believe your safest bet would be Winchester Cowboy Loads (https://www.luckygunner.com/winchester-45-long-colt-ammo-for-sale-45lc250leadwin-50), or a case of Fiocchi Cowboy Action loads (https://www.luckygunner.com/45-long-colt-250-gr-lrnfp-fiocchi-500-rounds).

Q: Hello, Luckugunner. Your answer above clarify a lot. With this polymer surrounding the lead bullet, the grain still is 250 weight? Thanks.

Posted On: 9/17/2023 By: Javier Garcia

A: Yes sir! The bullet's weight includes its jacket.

Q: 45 long colt.... ok so what is a polymer jacket on this ammo thank u

Posted On: 8/21/2023 By: greg

A: Thanks for reaching out Greg! Instead of a gilding metal shell, this round's lead bullet is completely surrounded by a tough synthetic substance. The polymer jacket eliminates metal fouling within the barrel, reduces friction to extend barrel life, and reduces (but doesn't eliminate) the risk of splash-back while you're firing on steel targets.
