Buffalo Bore 8E20 45-70 Gov 300gr JHP 20rd Box

Buffalo Bore Ammunition 8E20 Lever Gun Strictly Business is a 45-70 Government load loaded with a 300 grain jacketed hollow point designed for lever-gun platforms and other modern strong actions. The cartridges are externally SAAMI-spec in dimension but are loaded to substantially higher pressures and energy than standard 45-70 factory loads. Because of the increased power, this ammunition is not safe in every 45-70 firearm and must be limited to robust, modern or properly strengthened actions. Recommended platforms are listed by the manufacturer and include Marlin 1895 iterations made since 1972, Browning 1885 and 1886 copies, Rossi Rio Grande, New England Arms Handi Rifle, T/C Encore, modern steel falling-block actions (Ruger #1 and #3, Shiloh, Christian, Persoli), Winchester 1886 iterations made since 1915, and Siamese Mauser bolt actions.
