New to the 45-70 and need some guidance

[AJ Steam]

I only see a WFNGC in .452 for Cast Performance. The only .458 is WLNGC also.

They’ve changed their lineup in the last few years. Maybe they’ve made the WLNGC to where they will work in everything. Might be worth it to contact them about it.

Will do. Thank you for the help.

Oh, and by the way, be careful of Facebook. You do not need to trim your brass short for regular Hornady bullets. Just the flex tips.

Awesome. I was thinking that because I couldn’t fine anyone else asking on the inter web.

You want a bullet with the widest meplate possible. The WFN bullets are somewhat wider (the nose;meplate) than the WLN. They cut a permanent hole that leaks alot of blood.
Take a look at Double Tap also. They might offer them. --- SAWMAN

EUDE75,
Just looked through Moyers selection and was wondering about the 405gr SPGC.

I believe that's the one I use to use. Its been a while since I loaded for the 45 70. You can call him. He's very happy to answer any question you have.

For black bear,I would choose a 405gr WFNGC (hardcast) from Cast Performance.
I have shot thru both shields of a 300lb hog with these bullets. Killed big Maine moose with them also. This,coming out of a 16.5" Marlin 1895.
There are no handgun specific .458" bullets. --- SAWMAN

This. 100X I use RL7 for my loads. 1600fps of hell on earth. Black bear down.
