The Buffalo Bore Ammunition 8D/20 Lever Gun .45-70 Government 500 Grain Full Metal Jacket is engineered for shooters who demand heavy-hitting performance from modern lever-action and strong single-shot rifles. This Strictly Business load uses a 500 grain full metal jacket bullet seated in a brass case and is built to SAAMI external dimensions while delivering significantly increased power compared to traditional .45-70 offerings.
This cartridge is tailored for use in robust .45-70 platforms such as contemporary Marlin 1895 variants, Browning 1885 and 1886-style rifles, Ruger No. 1 and similar modern falling-block actions, and other rifles specifically approved by Buffalo Bore. With a listed muzzle velocity of 1,650 feet per second, it offers deep penetration and reliable performance for hunting large game or serious range work where consistent, heavy recoil and straight-line bullet travel are desired. Buffalo Bore is known for producing high-performance ammunition with careful attention to pressure limits, component quality, and real-world reliability.
