Buffalo Barnes 45-70 Government LeverGun 350gr Barnes TSX-FN /20 8G/20

BUFFALO-BARNES LEAD-FREE 45-70 Government. +P 350 gr. BARNES TSX-FN @ 2,150 fps 20 Round Box ITEM 8G This is a super powerful 45-70 +P (or magnum) loading. It is externally identical to SAAMI spec. 45-70 ammo, but internally it generates FAR more power and pressure. So, our 45-70 ammo will fit/chamber into any 45-70 firearm; HOWEVER, its use should be limited to firearms that are built to take the +P pressures it generates. Its use should be limited to the following firearms: All Marlin 1895 (1895 Marlins are simply 336 actions, with a 45-70 barrel screwed on) iterations made since 1972, all Browning 1885 and 1886 copies, Rossi Rio Grande, New England Arms Handi Rifle, T/C Encore, ALL falling block actions made of modern steel such as the Ruger #1 and #3, Shiloh, Christian and Pedersoli Sharps, Henry Lever Action Rifles, all Winchester 1886 iterations made since 1915, CVA Centerfire Rifles and all Siamese Mauser bolt actions. This all copper expanding 350gr. TSX-FN long-for-weight bullet will penetrate about as deep as the typical premium 400gr. + lead core partition expanding bullet, yet it gives the benefits of a lighter bullet, which means it recoils less and has flatter trajectories. We were not able to develop velocities as fast as we'd like because the long-for-weight all copper bullet crowds the limited powder capacity of the 45-70 casing. Still, 1,900+ fps is very fast and is very powerful and for those who like the benefits of the all copper Barnes TSX-FN bullet, it is a worthwhile trade-off. As an added benefit for many, this reduced velocity also means significant recoil reduction. As always, Buffalo Bore uses real-world firearms to generate our published velocities. We feel the industry wide duplicitous practice of generating advertised velocities from extra long laboratory barrels is dishonest to the customer as he/she will not be able to duplicate those velocities in the real world, where it matters. ? 1,931 fps -- Marlin 1895, 22-inch barrel ? 1,914 fps -- Marlin 1895, 18-inch barrel Many shooters do not understand why the 45-70 needs very little barrel length to obtain maximum velocities. As evidenced by the above velocities, ANY straight walled (not a bottleneck case such as the 06 or any number of casings that have a shoulder) case that uses relatively fast burning rifle powders, will generate all the velocity possible in barrels much shorter than bottleneck chamberings.
