      Buying .45 Colt Ammunition in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 16 .45 Colt loads, and 7 can be ordered today. Brands are Remington, Hornady, Barnes, Winchester, Federal, Sellier & Bellot and Blazer. The .45 Colt (also sold as .45 Long Colt) dates to the 1870s single-action revolver and is used in Australia mainly for Western Action shooting in revolvers and lever-action rifles, and for close-range pigs from a lever rifle.

      A NSW dealer may only sell .45 Colt ammunition to someone holding a licence or permit for a firearm of that calibre, and Magnum Sports sights it at the counter. Revolvers in .45 Colt are above the .38 sport-handgun limit and are only approved for specific accredited events such as Western Action. All ammunition is collection only from Roseville Chase; order online to have it put aside.

      Hornady 255 gr Cowboy starts at $58 a box, typical loads run about $63–$91, and Remington Wheelgun lead loads sit at $138. Larger packs from Winchester, Blazer and Federal are listed up to $206.
