    "Fun but be careful"

    "I don't have a rifle and these fall under the FPS limit Bond Arms states for their cyclops Derringer. These are shootable out of a BFR if you are used to big bore stuff but DO NOT try these out of a cyclops unless you are pretty skilled with stuff like this or wearing a face shield. I almost bopped myself in the nose lol."

    "Stable & Accurate out of a Marlin 1895 Guide Gun"

    "Zero key-holing at 50yds and hit within 1" of bullseye. More recoil than 325gr LeverEvolution but not crazy, even from the bench. Very happy with the performance I got and can't wait to run these through a can."

    Description

    Is This Subsonic Round For You?

    This 730-grain 45-70 load is for those who like to think outside the box. What began as a pestering curiosity, slowly turned into experimentation and exhaustive pressure testing and stability testing across a wide range of velocities. The result: the most interesting 45-70 subsonic ammo on the market.  Rifles with the most common 45/70 twist rate of 1:20 (such as the Marlin 1895 and Henry lever action rifles) are able to stabilize this monster of a bullet past 150 yards (18.5″ barrel 1895) with no problem! Some 45/70 rifles have a 1:28 twist- which may be too slow for this bullet.

    As with all heavy-for-caliber bullets, confirm that your particular firearm can stabilize the 730 gr 45-70 prior to shooting through a suppressor. The easiest way to do this is to look at the shape of the hole left on paper targets. Round holes = stable and suppressor safe, oblong or keyholes = not stable enough for suppressor use (in that rifle).

    This has quickly become our most popular 45-70 round, outside of our Trapdoor-safe loads.
