45-70 subx subsonic

[Prebanpaul]

Hey is anyone running subx subsonic 45-70 loads. Just came across the bullet. Just wondering. I live in Ohio which is a straight walled cartridge

Have not taken deer with one yet, but have heard some good stuff about them. Interesting bullet for a nice sedate or trapdoor 4570 loading I bet.

Needing suppressed? Otherwise the 300g bullets are about as flat shooting as you can get in 4570 and really hammer deer.

No experience with the bullet in 45-70, but they are my #1 go to bullet in my .300 Black Out. The terminal performance has been very good at subsonic speeds on varmints, but I can't speak to performance on deer? They open/spread well, but I am not sure how much penetration you would get on a heavier animal like deer, versus on a coyote?

10% ordnance gel shot. They're silly fun in a suppressed rifle. Kinda reminds me of shooting an M203

Factory 375 or 45 Raptor when? 45 should meet straight wall requirements? I'm in Iowa so anything over 35 cal is acceptable

 

[redbullitt]

Yeah those look like winners to me haha. Is that expanded one a 45 cal?

If you decide to try something else, Wide flat nose cast will kill well too and help with the subsonic consistency if you run 500g plus to eat up that extra case volume.

Yeah that's a 410gr .458" Sub-X.
