Description
This is our 45/70 load with the terminal performance of Maker’s Solid Copper Hollow Points, amd a devastating 500gr expanding bullet. In 18″ barrels velocity is 1,040 FPS and the petals of the projectile spread out to 90 degrees at velocities achieved at common 45-70 hunting distances. The profile of this bullet is safe in tubular magazines, yet its construction facilitates penetration on tough hide. This and the awesome expansion is perfect for deer-sized game.
This load is not suitable in Trapdoor Springfields as the pressure exceeds what those old rifles were designed to handle. It is safe in all modern 45/70 firearms. The overall length allow proper cycling in lever action rifles and use in Magnum Research’s BFR Revolvers.
