Falcon Saloon Cowboy Action 12ga 2 1/2"
Product Description
For Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) matches and Cowboy Action Shooting, speed, smooth cycling, and minimal recoil are essential for a winning stage. Falcon Saloon Cowboy Action 12ga shells are purpose-built for the competitive cowboy shooter, delivering a perfectly tailored load that is exceptionally gentle on the shoulder and highly reliable in vintage firearms, including classic cowboy shotguns. These shells are ideal Falcon shotgun ammo for the sport.
Manufactured in New Zealand, these specialised shells feature a traditional 2 1/2" (65mm) case length. This shorter hull is specifically designed to function flawlessly in the classic coach guns, side-by-sides, and lever-action shotguns favoured by action shooters, preventing the hang-ups and ejection issues sometimes caused by longer modern shells. To complete the authentic vintage aesthetic, each shell is finished with a classic roll crimp.
By reducing the velocity to a mild 950-980 fps (depending on your chosen payload), Falcon has drastically reduced felt recoil and muzzle rise. This allows you to stay on target for lightning-fast follow-up shots without getting knocked off balance, while still reliably dropping knock-down steel targets.
Key Features
Ultra-Low Recoil: Specifically loaded to lower velocities (950 to 980 fps) to dramatically reduce shoulder fatigue and muzzle climb during rapid-fire stages.
2 1/2" (65mm) Case Length: The shorter hull length ensures perfect chamber fitment and smooth, snag-free ejection in vintage side-by-sides and lever-action shotguns.
Classic Roll Crimp: Finished with a traditional roll crimp for an authentic period-correct look and highly reliable feeding.
Clean Burning: Loaded with high-quality, clean-burning powder to minimise carbon fouling in your barrels and actions over a long weekend match.
Target-Optimised Payload: Available in light 22gm or 26gm payloads with #7 shot, providing dense, consistent patterns for sweeping steel targets.
New Zealand Made: Proudly manufactured locally by Falcon Ammunition, ensuring consistent quality and availability for Kiwi shooters.
