The manufacturer notes the cartridge is externally identical to standard SAAMI .45-70 ammo but generates higher internal pressures and energy, and therefore is intended for use only in firearms rated for elevated loads. The packaging and model designation indicate a lever-gun oriented offering built for robust modern actions.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Specifications<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The cartridge is <b>.45-70 Government<\/b> for the intended platform.<\/li>\n<li>The bullet weight is <b>300 gr<\/b> to align with common recoil and point-of-aim characteristics for this load.<\/li>\n<li>The bullet type is <b>Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP)<\/b> appropriate for its stated role.<\/li>\n<li>The rated muzzle velocity is <b>2350 fps<\/b> from a standard test barrel.<\/li>\n<li>The muzzle energy is <b>3678 ft-lb<\/b> from a standard test barrel.<\/li>\n<li>The case material is <b>Brass<\/b> to support reliable feeding and extraction.<\/li>\n<li>The application is listed as <b>Target Shooting<\/b> by the manufacturer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThis load is intended for use in firearms and actions specified by the manufacturer as capable of handling higher-pressure .45-70 ammunition. It will fit standard .45-70 chambers but is not safe in every .45-70 firearm; follow the manufacturer&#8217;s compatibility recommendations and confirm your firearm is rated for this type of load before use. This cartridge is appropriate where a heavy 300 gr JHP is desired in a strong modern lever or single-shot action for precision target work.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style:italic;color: gray\">This information was generated using an experimental AI and should be taken with a grain of salt.<br \/>\nDo your research prior to purchasing based on the UPC that is provided on 100% of products available on Firearms Direct Club.<br \/>\nWe have over 75,000 products and growing and are utilizing as much tech to make the user experience better as possible, but it is NOT a perfect system and occasionally gets descriptions wrong.<br \/>\nPlease ask before you buy if there is any question, as our return policy is strictly enforced surrounding the UPC purchased matching the UPC advertised, and no other content, including pictures or titles or descriptions provided by FDC can be used to return an item that wasn&#8217;t what you thought it was.<br \/>\nThat being said, we&#8217;re reasonable humans who look at each situation on a case by case basis.<br \/>\nPlease contact us via email or chat if you have questions!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffalo Bore 8E20 Lever Gun Strictly Business .45-70 Government 300 gr Jacketed Hollow Point load intended for target shooting.
