This is a 45-70 Government subsonic ammunition load featuring a 730 grain Coated Wide Flat Nose (WFN) bullet. It is designed for modern firearms only and is NOT safe for Trapdoor rifles. The advertised velocity is 1,030 FPS (with an 18.5″ pressure barrel), producing 1,720 ft-lbs of energy while remaining subsonic. The overall length is 2.540″, and it utilizes new Starline Brass. Rifles with the common 1:20 twist rate (like the Marlin 1895 and Henry lever action rifles) are generally able to stabilize this bullet past 150 yards. Shooters are advised to confirm stability in their specific firearm, especially when using a suppressor, by looking for round holes on paper targets (oblong or keyholes indicate instability). This load is a popular subsonic option from Steinel Ammo.
