SKU: 8A/20

Overview

45-70 Magnum - Lever Gun Ammo - 430 gr. L.B.T.-L.F.N.(1,925fps/M.E.3,537 ft.lbs.) - 20 Round Box

We use only factory stock firearms in recording velocities, so that you get true, actual field velocities with our ammo --- not exaggerated test barrel velocities

All .45-70 Magnum loadings are intended for use in the following firearms:
All Marlin Model 1895 variations made since 1972
Browning Model 1885 and 1886
New England Arms Handi-Rifle
Ruger #1 and #3
T/C Encore
Shiloh, Christian and Pedersoli Sharps
New Production Winchester 1886

The 500 gr. load uses a dual diameter, bonded core bullet by Alaska Bullet Works. The bullet diameter in front of the crimp groove is .449 inch, while measuring .457 inch on the shank. This dual diameter allows for reliable chambering in rifles with short or no throats. This is a non-expanding Full Metal Jacket bullet designed for the deepest penetration on the largest game animals. This load is safe for use in any firearm designed for the other BBA .45/70 MAG. LEVER GUN cartridges.

When using Marlin Guide Guns with 18.5" barrels deduct an average of 50 fps from the charts below.

Dear Tim,

Attached is a picture of the 44" buffalo taken in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. I used the Buffalo Bore ammo that you sent and recommended. 430 gr. LBT-LFN

The bullet performed perfectly. It was a one-shot kill straight into the heart with a quartering-on angle. Both my Professional Hunter and Mark Keefe, Editor of American Rifleman were concerned about what the performance would be of a single-shot rifle chambered in .45-70. Needless to say they were both very impressed with your cartridge.

The hunt will be on "Benelli On Assignment" on the Outdoor Channel in 3rd quarter 2010. It should also be written up in American Rifleman by Mark and possible by another writer that was on the hunt named Bob Williams. He writes for Sporting Classics among others.

Thanks again for the ammo and your advice. Having taken animals from a Steinbok to a Cape Buffalo with .45-70 Buffalo Bore ammo I feel totally confident with the performance of your ammunition.

Please feel free to use the photos on your website if you wish.

Best regards,
