The only pointed bullet made for the 45-70 is the Hornady Leverevolution,even the 400 grain Swift A-Frame is not made for the 45-70 but the new 350 grain FP is.

What use is a pointed bullet in a 45-70 levergun?If you want it for longer range,it will not expand since it is made for .458WM velocities.

Just not understanding the need for pointed bullets in the 45-70 at 45-70 velocities.
