Authentic Cowboy Action Ammunition - Awhile back, Blacks Hills' Cowboy Action shooting friends asked if they could make a line of period correct ammunition. They didn't see and reason why these folks should be using anything less than the true, no-nonsense, period-correct loads. So they grilled the history buffs. Black Hills found out why the originals were made the way they were. Then they carefully fashioned a line of fourteen calibers and had those shooter friends of theirs try them out. Since then, they hadn't heard a peep, and Black Hills were forced to make a bunch more. Though no one has ever really had to force them to make more ammunition. Blacks Hills just came by that naturally.
Just started using this ammo for silhouettes( Win 1873) I'm doing 1 inch groups at 25 meters(standing). Extremely accurate up to 100 meters. I am taking down Rams at 200 meters, but I suspect some of my hits bounce off. Would love Black Hills to offer a little beefier cowboy cartridge for those Rams.
I needed a factory load for cowboy action shooting while I got my dillon re-loader all set up. These were great, they lever well in the 1873 and ran smooth through my Ruger New Vaqueros. Compared to a reload, they have a bit more kick, but I would pick these up anytime I needed factory ammo for a match.
I have tried many different rounds in my Uberti copy of the 1873 Winchester rifle but none shoot as accurat of more importantly fuction smoothly through my rifle.
