The Sellier & Bellot SB4570A delivers consistent performance for 45-70 Government rifles with its traditional 405-grain soft point design. This Czech-manufactured ammunition provides reliable expansion and deep penetration for large game hunting and lever-action enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's 405-grain soft point bullets feature a lead core construction that expands predictably on impact while maintaining structural integrity. The brass cases use boxer primers for reliable ignition and consistent velocities. Unlike lighter 45-70 loads, this traditional weight bullet delivers the momentum and penetration the cartridge was designed for, making it ideal for thick-skinned game and long-range accuracy.
Key Features
- 405-grain soft point bullet for controlled expansion and deep penetration
- Boxer-primed brass cases allow for reloading flexibility
- Non-corrosive powder and primers prevent barrel damage
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- Traditional bullet weight maintains historical 45-70 ballistics
- 20-round boxes provide convenient quantity for hunting trips
- Compatible with all 45-70 Government chamber rifles
This ammunition generates approximately 1,330 feet per second muzzle velocity with 1,590 foot-pounds of energy, delivering the knockdown power 45-70 shooters expect. The soft point design initiates expansion reliably on medium to large game while the heavy bullet weight maintains trajectory stability at extended ranges. Lever-action rifles like the Marlin 1895 and Henry Big Boy benefit from the consistent feeding characteristics of these round-nose bullets.
