Buffalo Bore 45-70 Government 405 Grain JFN Ammunition delivers the heavy-hitting performance lever-gun hunters and enthusiasts rely on. This 20-round box of centerfire rifle ammunition features a 405-grain semi-jacketed flat point projectile engineered for the classic 45-70 Government cartridge. Whether you're hunting big game with a traditional lever action or handloading for your 45-70, Buffalo Bore's reputation for quality and consistent performance makes this a trusted choice for shooters who demand ammunition that delivers.
The 405-grain JFN (semi-jacketed flat point) bullet is a time-tested design suited to the 45-70's leverage and power. Buffalo Bore has built its brand on producing ammunition that maximizes the potential of rifle platforms—especially lever guns and single-shots—that thrive with heavier projectiles and proven bullet construction. This load respects the cartridge's history while meeting the standards of modern hunters and shooters.
Each box contains 20 rounds ready to load and fire. If you run a 45-70—whether it's a Marlin, Winchester, or custom build—having reliable ammunition on hand means you're ready for the field or the range without compromise.
