Buffalo Bore 8A20 45-70Gov 430gr Hard Cast Lead FN 20/Box

Buffalo Bore Ammunition's 8A20 Lever Gun Strictly Business is a .45-70 Government load using a 430 gr hard-cast lead flat-nose bullet, packaged 20 rounds per box. The cartridges are externally similar to SAAMI-spec .45-70 ammunition but are loaded to significantly higher pressures and performance. Because of the increased power, these rounds will fit any .45-70 chamber but are safe only in selected robust modern and vintage actions. Recommended firearm types listed by the manufacturer include Marlin 1895 (post-1972), Browning 1885 and 1886 copies, Rossi Rio Grande, New England Arms Handi Rifle, T/C Encore, modern falling-block actions such as Ruger #1 and #3, Shiloh, Christian and Persoli Sharps, Winchester 1886 iterations made since 1915, and Siamese Mauser bolt actions.
