Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the maximum effective range of a Remington .45-70?

A: The maximum effective range of a Remington .45-70, particularly with this high-performance 300gr SJHP load, can extend to about 300 yards for skilled shooters, though most hunters consider 200 yards to be a more practical limit. The exact maximum effective range depends on various factors including the specific load, rifle configuration, environmental conditions, and most importantly, the shooter's skill level and ability to compensate for significant bullet drop and wind drift at longer distances.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for bear defense?

A: Yes, this ammunition is well-suited for bear defense due to its high energy and deep penetration capabilities. The 300gr SJHP bullet provides excellent stopping power against large, dangerous game like bears.

Q: How does the recoil compare to standard .45-70 loads?

A:  The recoil of this high-performance load is generally more substantial than standard .45-70 Government ammunition. Shooters should be prepared for increased felt recoil, especially in lighter rifles or those without recoil-reducing features.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for hunting large game?

A: Yes, this .45-70 Government ammunition with its 300 grain SJHP bullet is well-suited for hunting large game such as bear, elk, and moose at moderate ranges. The heavy bullet and hollow point design provide excellent stopping power and expansion for ethical harvests.

Q: Can this ammunition be used in all .45-70 Government firearms?

A: This is a full-pressure load, so it should only be used in modern .45-70 Government firearms in good condition. It is not recommended for use in older or replica firearms designed for lower-pressure loads. Always consult your firearm's manual or a qualified gunsmith to ensure compatibility.
