Cowboy .45 Special

What's that you say?  Haven't ever heard of such a round?  Well now you have.  Do to the constant lust to go faster and reduce recoil, some enterprising folks have created a new custom round called the Cowboy .45Special.

What is it?
It is a .45 caliber rimmed case with the overall length of .895 which is the same as the ubiqutous .45ACP and the same diameter and rim as the .45Colt.

Why's that so darned good?
Well, if you know anything about powder and case volume, you know that at lower velocity cowboy loads, the large .45Colt volume cause inconsistency and loss of accuracy, the Cowboy .45Special's smaller volume means less inconsistency and greater accuracy with lower recoil.

Will it work with Black Powder and Subs and the new "smoke rule"?
Heh he, this is the best.  15g of black powder will just fit under a 200g bullet.  No fillers.  This'll greatly simplify loading of BP and subs and allow you to use progressive loaders.

Will it work in my rifle?
Not in most.  A Marlin can be modified to work with this ammo though, just a modificatio to the carrier.

OK, this thing's got to cost me an arm and leg, right?
Well, it does cost more because the round is new and not widely used.  But it only costs $20-$30 more per 1,000 than the .45Colt.

Ah! but I have to buy new dies, right?
Maybe, do you have a .45Colt sizer/shellplate and .45ACP expander & seat/crimp?  If you do, then you're set.

When you buyin' a bunch?
Well, that's a good question, I don't really NEED this new case and Schofields work mighty fine right now.  But I sure would like to see everyone's face when I pulled out ACP sized rounds to shoot :)


This comparison is a .45Colt on the left, a 250g bullet and the new Cowboy .45Special on the right.  Case volume is cut in half.

This is a great idea! I would like to buy some for my Bond Arms derringer. I don't reload; can they be purchased ready to fire? If so, who from?
