Hornady Subsonic 45-70 Government 410gr Sub-X 20rd Box/10 Case - Box or Case

Hornady Subsonic rifle ammunition in 45-70 Government is purpose-built for shooters who want a heavy-bullet, hard-hitting 410 gr load that stays below the speed of sound. Loaded with the Sub-X projectile, this round pairs a polymer-tipped lead-core bullet with a carefully matched propellant charge to deliver reliable expansion at subsonic velocities, with a reduced report and noticeably less recoil than full-power 45-70 hunting ammunition.

The Sub-X bullet's polymer Flex Tip helps the soft lead core initiate expansion even at the slower velocities associated with subsonic flight, giving the round its effective terminal performance on medium game. Hornady rates the load at 1075 fps muzzle velocity and 1052 ft lbs of muzzle energy from a 24" test barrel, with a ballistic coefficient of .285. The brass case is paired with a reliable Boxer primer, making this factory load a friendly starting point for handloaders looking to fine-tune their own subsonic 45-70 recipes.

Designed with hunting in mind, this load is well suited for whitetail deer, black bear, and similar North American medium game, especially in scenarios where a quieter shot or a suppressed rifle platform is desired. As a current-production Hornady factory load, you get consistent components and quality control case after case.
