Atomic Ammunition 45-70 Gov 500gr Subsonic Lead Hollow Point Ammo

The Atomic Ammunition 04942 delivers exceptional subsonic performance in 45-70 Government, combining a heavy 500-grain lead hollow point with reduced noise signature for specialized applications. This premium ammunition maintains lethal effectiveness while operating below the sound barrier, making it ideal for suppressed rifles and hunting scenarios requiring discretion.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 45-70 loads that produce significant muzzle blast and sonic crack, this subsonic configuration keeps velocities under 1,100 fps while maximizing bullet weight for terminal performance. The 500-grain lead hollow point expands reliably at reduced velocities, delivering devastating wound channels that compensate for the lower impact energy. Each cartridge undergoes precision loading to ensure consistent subsonic performance across temperature ranges.

Key Features

• 500-grain lead hollow point bullet optimized for subsonic expansion
• Subsonic velocity eliminates sonic crack for reduced noise signature
• Premium brass cases sized for reliable feeding and extraction
• Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent velocities
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Compatible with all 45-70 Government chamber specifications
• Lead construction provides superior expansion at low velocities

This ammunition excels in suppressed hunting applications where shot placement and discretion matter more than raw velocity. The heavy bullet maintains substantial downrange energy while the hollow point design ensures reliable expansion on game animals. Law enforcement agencies utilize similar subsonic loads for specialized operations requiring reduced acoustic signature without sacrificing stopping power.
