45 Long Colt Brass

45 Long Colt Brass

This once-fired 45 Long Colt Brass—also referred to as .45 Colt—is a durable and historically significant cartridge component, ideal for cowboy action shooting, hunting, or target practice. Sourced primarily from indoor firing ranges, this brass features mixed commercial headstamps and minimal fouling, offering reloaders a convenient and reliable base for custom loads in single-action and lever-action firearms.

Each batch is machine- and magnetically sorted to remove any steel or non-brass cases, followed by visual inspection at multiple stages to eliminate compromised pieces. This results in a collection of structurally sound, boxer-primed brass ready for resizing and reloading. Whether you’re assembling light cowboy loads or traditional heavy hitters, these cases perform consistently across .45 Colt platforms.

All orders are filled to 101% by weight to account for any cosmetic flaws or nickel-plated cases. Brass is securely bagged and shipped to ensure a complete and reloadable yield upon arrival. With proper care, .45 Colt brass can support multiple reload cycles and deliver dependable accuracy at the range or in the field.

The .45 Colt cartridge remains a popular choice among traditional shooters and revolver enthusiasts, maintaining its legacy in modern cowboy action circles and as a versatile hunting round. This once-fired brass offers a cost-effective solution for reloaders looking to build custom loads with flexible bullet weights and pressures.

Cleaning services are also available for this caliber. When in stock, our optional upgrade provides fully tumbled, lube-ready brass to save time and reduce bench prep. If available, this selection will appear above the product listing.
