Federal Subsonic .45-70 Government 300gr Solid Base Soft Point Ammo

The Federal Subsonic .45-70 Government 300gr Solid Base Soft Point load (Federal part no. 4570SUB1) brings real noise reduction, not just relative quiet, to one of the hardest-hitting lever-gun cartridges around. Federal engineers selected some of the company’s most trusted bullet designs and modified them specifically for a muzzle velocity of 1000 fps, just below the speed of sound. That eliminates the harsh supersonic crack that a suppressor alone cannot silence, giving hunters and target shooters genuinely quiet performance without sacrificing the accuracy this rifle cartridge is known for.
