Has anyone run theese grizzly 405 grain rnfp cowboy rounds through their lever guns? Just curious from the reviews I saw and the amount of dents in the brass. Also has anyone used on game?
With all of the legal exposures related to selling retail ammo, trapdoor mid 1870's steel at black powder pressure loads do not shock me at all.Don't own a 45 70 but those rounds seem to be a little anemic. Maybe instead of a Grizzly bear picture, they should have put a picture of pussycat. Definitely would not use those on a Grizzly bear hunt. I know those rounds are not hunting rounds. They are paper punching rounds. But if they're cheap, why not.
I would love to get into reloading, but I afraid once I buy all the stuff, that commie in the White House will ban companies from selling powders and bulletsWith all of the legal exposures related to selling retail ammo, trapdoor mid 1870's steel at black powder pressure loads do not shock me at all.
If you have modern steel, roll your own. Before the Biden spike in components hit, 5 boxes of factory 45-70 cost got you into the reloading world.
Good luck finding mechanicals and components now.
Very good to know, thank youGrizzly makes great bear/moose hunting loads! I use these these two hard cast rounds for hunting moose, since we have bear in the area also. They really are ideal for bear protection...
These are +P or max loads for the modern 45/70.

I’ll take the recoil over the bear bites and claw marks...they are not rounds you would take to the range...that is for sure.And hopefully you don't have any shoulder problems when you shoot these.
Hodgdon has long published a load with a 400 grain jacketed Speer and H4198 at 2,002 fps.I wonder what type of powder exists that would get a 405 up to 2,050 fps? I am not familiar with anything that we can buy that would do it?
