45 Schofield Ammo

The .45 Schofield and also known as the .45 S&W, originally introduced in 1875, is a historic revolver cartridge developed for the U.S. Army's Schofield revolver. It was created as a shorter, more compact alternative to the .45 Colt, making it easier to load and unload quickly in the field. The .45 Schofield was used extensively during the Indian Wars and the late 19th century, particularly in the American West. While it was eventually replaced by other calibers, it remains a cherished round for collectors, enthusiasts, and cowboy action shooters today. Choice Ammunition elevates the .45 Schofield with our premium hand-loaded rounds, offering superior craftsmanship and performance. Unlike mass-produced factory ammo, Choice Ammunition uses only the highest-quality components, such as precision-machined brass cases, clean-burning powders, and expertly designed Hi-tek coated Chey-Cast Bullets for virtually no lead fouling. While the .45 Schofield is often associated with historical use in military revolvers, it still finds applications in modern shooting sports, especially cowboy action competitions where we load our Cowboy Choice Ammunition line of ammo, where its manageable recoil and accuracy make it a favorite among competitors.
