Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Preferred 300 gr. 45-70 bullet for deer.

The one I like the best is the Speer Unicor/Plinker. It has kept its integrity at muzzle velocities to just over 2200 fps, and I haven't tried it at any higher speeds. Accuracy is on par with the other brands I've tried.

Hornady and Sierra were well-behaved at MVs below 1900 fps, but animals showed signs of frangibility above that.
