HSM loads this 350gr full metal jacket to 1700 fps for 2246 ft-lbs of energy. The FMJ design does not expand, making this primarily a practice and target load rather than hunting ammunition. Shooters can use it for load development, sight adjustment, and range time without burning expensive hunting rounds.

The 350gr weight sits in the middle of the .45-70 spectrum. It recoils less than 400+ grain loads but still provides realistic practice for hunting ammunition. The non-expanding bullet is also an option for situations requiring deep penetration without expansion, though most hunters would choose a hard-cast design for that purpose. HSM typically prices this below premium hunting loads.
