Sellier and Bellot Rifle 45-70 Government Soft Point 405 Grain 20 Rounds

The Sellier & Bellot SB4570A Rifle round in .45-70 Government is a heavy-hitting 405 gr soft point that delivers 1,509 fps and roughly 2,048 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, designed for hunters and guides who demand reliable terminal performance from a classic caliber; this SB4570A series load offers a semi-jacketed soft point profile that promotes controlled expansion and high weight retention, making it suited for North American big game and brush country where deep penetration and energy transfer matter. With brass casing and HazAir compliance for transportation, this 45-70 Gov load feeds and chambers smoothly in lever-action and modern single-shot rifles, and its 405-grain mass produces stout sectional density for tough-skinned game at moderate ranges. If you're pairing it with iron sights or a low-magnification scope, the consistent 1,509 fps baseline helps with trajectory planning and follow-up shot placement, while the soft point bullet type helps limit over-penetration in thick cover. Sellier & Bellot's SB4570A ammunition is a straightforward choice for experienced hunters and range professionals who want a trusted .45-70 Gov option with predictable performance in the field.
