Each cartridge uses a 300-grain jacketed hollow point bullet and brass casing, producing a listed muzzle velocity of 2,350 feet per second and muzzle energy of 3,678 foot-pounds. The 20-round box is suitable for target shooting and other appropriate applications where this load is approved for use.
This Buffalo Bore 45-70 Government load is externally identical to standard SAAMI-specification 45-70 ammunition, but it generates substantially greater pressure and power. Because of this, it is not safe for every firearm chambered in 45-70 Government. Use should be limited to the specific modern firearms and actions identified by Buffalo Bore, including Marlin 1895 rifles manufactured since 1972, Browning 1885 and 1886 copies, Rossi Rio Grande rifles, New England Arms Handi Rifles, T/C Encore firearms, modern-steel falling-block actions such as Ruger No. 1 and No. 3 rifles, Shiloh, Christian and Pedersoli Sharps rifles, Winchester 1886 iterations manufactured since 1915, and Siamese Mauser bolt actions.
Before using Buffalo Bore Ammunition part number 8E20, verify that your firearm is listed as compatible by the manufacturer and consult the firearm owner’s manual. Do not use this ammunition in older, weaker, or otherwise unapproved 45-70 Government firearms. Proper firearm and ammunition compatibility is essential for safe operation. Store ammunition securely and follow all applicable handling, storage, and range-safety practices.
