Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 45/70 Hornady 325 FTX for deer?

rufous,

It should work fine. When in doubt, go to the manufacturer for advice about their products. Hornady recommends this bullet for deer and elk. They suggest a muzzle velocity of 1300 to 2300 fps, so a light charge is all you need.
