Buffalo Bore 45-70Gov 430gr Hard Cast Lead Flat Nose 20rd Box

Description

Buffalo Bore Ammunition’s 8A20 Lever Gun Strictly Business cartridge is a .45-70 Government load using a 430-grain hard cast lead flat nose projectile. These rounds are externally SAAMI-compatible in overall dimensions but are loaded to significantly higher internal pressures and performance levels than standard SAAMI loads. Because of the elevated pressures, this ammunition is appropriate only for robust and specified 45-70 firearms; it will fit most 45-70 chambers but is not safe in every 45-70 firearm.

Manufacturer guidance limits use to specific modern and suitably strong actions, including Marlin 1895 iterations made since 1972, Browning 1885 and 1886 copies, Rossi Rio Grande, New England Arms Handi Rifle, T/C Encore, modern-steel falling-block actions (for example Ruger #1 and #3, Shiloh, Christian, Persoli Sharps), Winchester 1886 iterations made since 1915, and Siamese Mauser bolt actions.
