Ok so the colt 45 cowboy rounds were bought.....now the thing shot well.. but another question is what would cause the empty case to be burnt along one side and quite a bit of blow back to the face when shot?....Got stung a few times.....this is a pump....thanks....I just figured it was too hot a load????..still factory ammo..

Rather than being to hot, the loads are too weak! They are not developing enough chamber pressure to seal the brass to the chamber walss, allowing blow-back! the so-called "COWBOY" loads are designed to be just powerfull enough to punch through paper targets in COWBOY compitition, without much recoil! Actually they are simply not very good 45LC loads. Get some jacketed bullet loads, and I think your problem witll be long gone!

The 45LC is a very good rifle cartridge, and in short barreled carbines, make a fine 100 yd whitetail rifle!
