[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2946141, member: 313"] There is another issue with the bullet that you purchased. It is designed for 458 Win mag and similar cartridges, which all develop considerably more velocity. The 45-70 needs a bullet designed for a much lower impact velocity. The 300 TSX-FN has a gaping hollow point which readily expands at a much lower impact velocity than the bullet you tried to use. For specific info on minimum velocity for expansion, take a look at the Barnes site. [/QUOTE]
