The Buffalo Bore Buffalo-Barnes .45-70 Government 300gr Barnes TSX Flat Nose load (Buffalo Bore part no. 8F20) is part of the company’s Strictly Business lineup, built for shooters who want serious stopping power out of a lever-action rifle. Buffalo Bore teamed up with Barnes for this loading, pairing its big-bore .45-70 case with the all-copper TSX bullet for deep, reliable penetration on heavy game or in a dangerous-game backup gun. This is not a plinking load; it is built for hunters who need a rifle round that holds together through heavy muscle and bone. Anyone running a rifle chambered in .45-70 for hog, bear, or moose country will find this a serious option.

Key Specifications

• Chambered in .45-70 Government, a classic big-bore lever-gun cartridge built for heavy game.
• Loaded with a 300-grain bullet, a lighter-for-caliber weight that trades some momentum for flatter flight and less recoil than the heaviest .45-70 loads.
• Built around the Barnes TSX flat nose bullet, an all-copper hollow point that peels back into petals for controlled expansion.
• Uses lead-free construction, a requirement in some hunting areas and a clean option everywhere else.
• Cased in brass for reliable extraction and reloading.
• Packaged 20 rounds per box, sold 12 boxes to a case for hunters stocking up before the season.
• Runs about $4.37 per round, reflecting the premium copper bullet and specialty loading.
• The Triple-Shock X design retains close to 100 percent of its weight on impact, giving deep, straight-line penetration on tough game.
• Part of Buffalo Bore’s Strictly Business line, the company’s designation for its full-power, no-compromise hunting loads.
