45-70 Magnum - Lever Gun Ammo
405 gr. J.F.N. @ 2,000 fps/M.E. 3,597 ft lbs
20 Round Box
ITEM 8B
PRESS RELEASE FOR BUFFALO BORE 45-70 MAGNUM-LEVER GUN (ITEMS 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, and 8E)
Our 45-70 ammunition is externally identical to SAAMI spec 45-70
ammo, but internally it generates FAR more power and pressure. So, our
45-70 ammo will fit into ANY 45-70 firearm but is not safe in every
45-70 firearm.
Its use should be limited to the following firearms:
Never use this ammo in ANY original or reproduced "Trap Door" action as the design is far too weak.
We
use only factory stock firearms in recording published velocities, so
you get true, actual field velocities with our ammo -- not exaggerated
long laboratory test barrel velocities.
Item 8B (405gr. JFN expander)
? 2002 fps -- Marlin 1895, 22-inch barrel
? 1955 fps -- Marlin 1895 Guide Gun, 18.5-inch barrel
Many a Grizzly Bear, Cape Buffalo, Bison and other dangerous game
have fallen to our 45-70 loads since we began 45-70 production 1999.
Below is an idea of what type of game these loads were designed for.
Item 8B --
the bullet utilized expands to an inch or more in diameter at our
velocities, and hence penetration is limited to about two feet in flesh
and bone. This is the single most effective hog and black bear load ever
devised in 45-70. I don't use it on animals weighing more than 800 lbs
as it won't give adequate penetration at bad angles for animals larger
than 800 lbs. If you'll limit yourself to broadside (double lung) and
CNS hits, this load will work on 2,000 lb animals.
