The Hornady 45-70 Govt 410 Grain Sub-X ammunition delivers subsonic performance in one of the most powerful lever-action calibers available. Loaded to 1075 feet per second, this 410-grain bullet generates substantial downrange energy while remaining subsonic—ideal for shooters seeking reduced noise signature without sacrificing terminal ballistics. Each box contains 20 rounds, providing reliable ammunition for hunting, target practice, and precision shooting applications.
The 410-grain projectile in the Sub-X line emphasizes bullet construction and weight retention, characteristics Hornady has refined across decades of ammunition manufacturing. At subsonic velocities, heavier bullets maintain energy better than lighter alternatives, particularly important in the 45-70 Government cartridge where terminal performance depends on controlled expansion and deep penetration. The 1075 FPS muzzle velocity sits well below the sound barrier (approximately 1125 FPS in standard conditions), making this load suitable for suppressed rifles or situations where noise reduction matters without compromising stopping power.
Shooters working with bolt-action or lever-action rifles in 45-70 Government caliber will find this ammunition addresses a specific niche: hunting and defensive applications where subsonic performance is advantageous but standard loads are overkill. Reloaders and shooters running suppressed systems benefit from the controlled velocity profile. The 20-round box quantity suits both casual shooters and those maintaining a working supply for field use. Hornady's manufacturing standards ensure consistent performance across the ammunition batch, critical for predictable ballistics and accuracy at distance.
