The Fiocchi Range Dynamics .45 Long Colt 225-grain Complete Metal Jacket Flat Point (CMJ-FP) Brass 50-round box is a standard-pressure centerfire cartridge engineered specifically for high-volume target shooting, Cowboy Action competition, and range practice in revolvers and lever-action rifles. A primary friction point when shooting high volumes of traditional lead-core or standard FMJ ammunition is airborne lead vaporization and heavy bore fouling caused by hot propellant gases scorching the exposed lead base of the bullet. Fiocchi eliminates this environmental and maintenance concern by fully encapsulating the lead core in a total copper jacket, drastically reducing airborne lead particulates and keeping firearm bores significantly cleaner over extended firing sessions.
The technical advantage focuses on complete jacket encapsulation paired with platform-safe bullet geometry. Launching its 225-grain CMJ-FP payload at a smooth, subsonic muzzle velocity of 750 FPS, this load produces low, manageable felt recoil that reduces shooter fatigue and improves sight recovery during rapid Cowboy Action strings. Mechanically, the Complete Metal Jacket covers both the nose and the base of the lead core, preventing gas-to-lead contact at ignition. Furthermore, the wide flat-point nose glides smoothly up lever-action feed ramps while ensuring safe, tip-to-primer contact inside stacked tubular magazines without risk of recoil-induced chain fires.
Slinging its 225-grain flat-point bullet at 750 FPS, this classic .45 Colt load is optimized for effortless mechanical operation across single-action Army revolvers, double-action wheelguns, and lever-action carbines. Assembled in premium reloadable virgin brass cases fitted with sensitive, non-corrosive Boxer primers and low-fouling propellants, it maintains stable ignition curves and tight velocity consistency. The precision-drawn brass cases ensure clean chamber sealing and smooth, non-binding ejector rod extraction, supporting fast reloads and long brass casing life for handloaders.
