At the risk of offending (not my intent) a real "cowboy" would laugh at the loads most cowboy action shooters use in the venerable 45 Colt. The original (black powder) was a 255g bullet at 900 fps.
I've never understood why 44 Special shooters all seem to want to make a Magnum out of the Special but a lot of 45 Colt shooters strive to eliminate as much recoil as possible. Somethin' wrong with this picture! (smile)
