It doesn't hurt as bad if you have 2 zigzags.

OP could offset the cost of ammo by selling tapes from here to Hong Kong.

Straight-walled cases that can take cast lead bullets like .45 Colt make a ton of sense to reload!

If you’re just plinking, FOC has S&B LFN for about $1/round.

I assume low supply and demand

I don't shoot .45 colt, but it looks like s&b cowboy action .45 colt is about $1 per round

I just bought the sr 45 and used cowboy action ammo. If youre like me and like more power, buy something else.

Cowboy action is very specifically supposed to be low power

u/Maleficent_Ad_2259 May 20 '26

I learned that afterward

Reloading is pretty great Looks like under 50 cents a round.

u/Edmonton_outdoorsman May 20 '26

Gotenda has it for a buck a round, it really is a cartridge you reload though

10 years ago that stuff was expensive. It’s just not as popular as it used to be. Look at gunshows for reloads, try reloading yourself as suggested, maybe buy bulk. If you can find it, CCI BLAZER used to be relatively cheap. It comes in aluminum shells and lead bullets. Can’t reload it, but it’s good to plink with.

Ammobin hasn't been good for a very long time. Shows everything that isn't in stock. try maplegun.ca instead.
