158 gr LSWC Cowboy vs match
Is there a difference between these two missouri bullet types?

Yes their cowboy bullets are RNFP (round nose flat point) while the match is a SWC desiign (semi-wadcutter). They'll shoot about the same but the SWC will cut a cleaner round full caliber hole in the target. The RNFP will be a smaller hole with radial tears. A SWC will do a little more tissue damage as well and IMO is a better choice for Hunting larger game or SD if your so inclined. The RNFP at Cowboy velocity works pretty good on small game as it limits damage some.

The rounded nose of the Cowboy bullets feed better through lever actions.
