200 Rounds of .45-70 Ammo by Federal American Eagle Subsonic - 300gr Target HP

You got a 45-70 Govt rifle. You got a suppressor for it, too (hopefully after the $200 tax stamp was eliminated). That means you just need one more thing: a big chunky case of Federal Premium American Eagle Subsonic ammunition!

Doesn’t matter if it’s the air molecules surrounding a lightning bolt, the end of a whip, or a bullet. If something accelerates faster than the speed of sound, it’s going to make a jarring “CRACK.” And that’s exactly what makes this ammo so special. Its 300 grain projectile is poised to make its appearance at a velocity of just 1,000 fps. That’s substantially slower than sound, which coincides with the softer report that best complements suppressor performance.

Don’t care about noise? Then you’ll still appreciate this ammo’s surprisingly mild recoil. It’s a great way to introduce a newer shooter to the 45-70! It’s not a great way to hunt deer, though. At best, that bullet can strike with only two-thirds of the minimum energy recommended for harvesting whitetail, and its hollow point design does not initiate significant terminal expansion upon entry within the animal.
