Buffalo Bore 45-70 Government 430 Grain LFN ammunition delivers the hard-hitting performance lever-gun hunters and shooters demand. This 20-round box of 45-70 Government loads pairs heavy 430-grain projectiles with Buffalo Bore's proven hard-cast lead flat-nose design—built to cycle reliably through classic and modern lever actions while maintaining the stopping power that makes the 45-70 one of hunting's most respected cartridges. Whether you're hunting big game at moderate to close range or pushing the capabilities of your lever rifle, these rounds are engineered for the field.

Buffalo Bore ammunition is known for quality control and consistent ballistics that go beyond what you'll find in standard commercial loads. The hard-cast construction resists deformation in the magazine and chamber, ensuring reliable feeding and consistent performance shot to shot. The flat-nose profile is optimized for lever-gun safety and feeding geometry—a critical detail often overlooked in generic ammunition.

A box of 20 is the right size for practice, function-testing a new lever gun, or topping off your hunting loadout without overcommitting to bulk that may sit unused. If you're serious about getting the most from your 45-70, Buffalo Bore's attention to bullet design and load development shows in every round.
