Korupt Karl Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 http://cowboy45special.com/ At a shoot today and ended up talking about 45 cowboy specials with a couple of pards. One used my pistols and shot the rounds for one stage and fell in love. While trimming a 45 LC casing will save a few bucks, the case stays too thick by about 8 thousandths at the crimp which makes it tough on and stiff with the sizing and crimping. The cowboy specials are from starline and are tapered to make for a great crimp. Using them with 160's is the way to go. I use my 45acp dies and my 45 LC base plate and they go together like butter. If you haven't checked out the Cowboy Special....check the site above or contact Adirondack Jack...he's on the wire a lot. KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly SASS #45219 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I like 'em loaded with a compressed charge of FFFg Schuetzen under the lil 164 grain 44SLIM Big Lube bullets. The 150 grain EPP-UG is also great with a similar load. Plenty of smoke and full match shooting with no fouling issues. DD-MDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I shoot smoklesss Wrangler category in monthly matches: .45 Colts in my OMV. I shoot FC or FCD at larger matches and APP in .45 Cowboy Special. Works like a charm. Does a great job and makes it easy to segregate my loads. I have about 10-12 loadings out of my current batch of brass and they still work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancho Roy Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 http://images44.fotki.com/v220/photos/2/36012/10295030/withwords-vi.jpg Cowboy45 brass and a C&B Cylinder Conversion go together like cold hands and mittens! With under 3.6g of Trail Boss and a 170g BIG LUBE 45SLIM bullet, the recoil is just a bit more than a 38 special. With XXg of Black Powder you get all the fire and fury you could want at half the cost.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Brady #24830Life Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I shoot em' with the DD 150g and 777 in my ROA conversions; they mimic my percussion load dead on and are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
