45-70 GOVERNMENT BLACK HILLS 405 GRAIN LFP (20 ROUNDS)

“I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy”

Well, maybe you’re not a cowboy per se, but you still enjoy the authentic performance of classic cowboy cartridges. Black Hills Ammunition makes this 45-70 Government load for purists who demand the real deal!

This cartridge has a 405 grain bullet, just like its specs originally called for. It’s a simple lead flat point – no nose cavity, no polymer tip, no jacket, no nothing that would make it look out of place if you took it back in time to 1875. Target shooters love the reliable accuracy of a simple hunk of lead, and nearly anything you hunt with an almost one ounce bullet is going to go down quick. This bullet’s flat meplat suits it well for use in a lever-action with a tubular magazine.

Black Hills has made a great name for themself among the AR crowd, but shooters who don’t give a fig about newfangled inventions like the gas port love Black Hills too. This cartridge becomes a great reloading component once its new and straight-walled brass shell casing is freed up, and its modern propellant won’t treat you to an authentic miasma of black powder smoke.
