Underwood Ammo Rifle Ammunition .45-70 Gov 430Gr Fn 1550 Fps 20/Ct

Underwood Ammo's .45-70 Government 430-grain flat-nose rifle ammunition delivers solid performance for hunters and shooters working with lever-actions and modern rifle platforms. Loaded to 1550 fps, this cartridge offers the velocity you need for effective terminal performance, backed by Underwood's proprietary "Black Cherry" polymer coating on hard-cast bullets. Twenty rounds per box makes this an accessible option for practice, load development, and field use.

The Black Cherry coating is engineered to eliminate the lead fouling that plagued traditional cast bullets. By preventing direct lead-to-bore contact, this coating lets you shoot longer strings without the buildup that forces excessive cleaning. The polymer is thermally stable across the pressure and heat conditions typical of modern .45-70 rifles, resisting weathering, chemical degradation, and the mechanical stress of firing. You won't deal with plastic burning or fumes—the compound self-lubricates and burns clean.

Whether you're loading for a Marlin, Winchester, or lever-action hunting rifle, the 430-grain flat-nose profile is a classic choice for larger game and provides reliable expansion at hunting velocities. Underwood's coating technology means less bore maintenance and more time shooting without the typical hassles of cast-bullet ammunition. This is hard-cast ammo engineered for shooters who want performance without compromise.
