Buffalo Bore 45-70 Gov 350gr SJFP Lever Gun Ammo - 20 Rounds

Buffalo Bore's 8C20 Lever Gun ammunition transforms the classic 45-70 Government cartridge into a modern powerhouse for serious hunting applications. This 350-grain semi-jacketed flat point load delivers devastating terminal performance while maintaining the reliable feeding characteristics lever-action rifles demand.

What Makes This Different

The "Strictly Business" designation reflects Buffalo Bore's commitment to maximum performance within safe pressure limits for modern lever guns. Unlike standard 45-70 loads that operate at reduced pressures for compatibility with antique rifles, this ammunition pushes velocities to 2,100+ fps from 22-inch barrels. The semi-jacketed flat point design provides controlled expansion on large game while the flat nose ensures reliable feeding in tubular magazines.

Key Features

• 350-grain semi-jacketed flat point bullet for deep penetration and expansion
• Optimized powder charge for modern lever-action rifles (Marlin 1895, Winchester 1886)
• Muzzle velocity exceeds 2,100 fps from 22-inch barrels
• Flat point design prevents magazine detonation in tubular feed systems
• Premium brass cases suitable for reloading
• Consistent powder charges for shot-to-shot reliability
• 20 rounds per box, 12 boxes per case (240 total rounds)

Field performance data shows this load generates over 3,400 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, making it suitable for elk, moose, and dangerous game at ranges up to 200 yards. The heavy bullet maintains velocity downrange better than lighter alternatives, while the semi-jacketed construction provides reliable expansion on medium to large game. Weather-resistant primer sealant and quality brass ensure reliable ignition in hunting conditions.
