Description
The Federal 45-70 Govt 300gr Subsonic SP load is built for shooters who want more from their .45-70 Government than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 300 grain subsonic target soft point to a rated 1000 feet per second, producing about 666 foot-pounds of energy. Federal Subsonic loads keep velocity below the speed of sound, eliminating the supersonic crack for very quiet shooting with a suppressor.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 45-70 Govt 300gr Subsonic SP until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
The .45-70 Government was adopted by the US Army in 1873 for the Springfield Trapdoor rifle and remains popular today in lever-action and single-shot rifles. Its large, heavy bullets have always been effective at modest velocity, which makes the cartridge a natural fit for subsonic loads that pair with a suppressor for quiet, hard-hitting performance.
