Frequently Asked Questions
Remington .45-70 Ammo
Is 45-70 enough for elk?
Yes. The .45-70 is effective on elk within 150–200 yards using quality 300–405 grain expanding bullets. It delivers substantial energy at close to moderate ranges. Shot placement is critical, as with any caliber. Avoid shots beyond 200 yards where velocity and energy drop significantly.
What is the best distance to zero a 45-70?
Most hunters zero at 100 yards, which keeps bullets within 3–5 inches of point of aim out to roughly 150 yards—practical for lever-action hunting. For shots under 100 yards, a 50-yard zero works fine. Start bore sighting at 25 yards, then confirm at your intended distance.
What is the highest grain bullet for a 45-70?
A 777-grain Hi-Tek coated hardcast projectile represents the heaviest .45-70 load currently available, designed for subsonic performance in lever guns and single-shot rifles. Standard hunting loads typically max out around 405 grains for expanding bullets.
How far does a 45-70 drop at 300 yards?
Drop depends on your zero and ammo. Sighted at 100 yards, expect roughly 48 inches of drop at 300 yards. Zeroed at 200 yards, expect about 30 inches at 300 yards. Heavier, slower bullets drop more; lighter, faster loads drop less.
What is the most accurate 45-70 ammo?
Accuracy varies by rifle. Hornady LEVERevolution and Barnes VOR-TX consistently perform well for most shooters. However, individual rifles have preferences, so testing several loads at 100 yards is the only reliable way to determine which ammunition your specific rifle shoots most accurately.
