A La Buffalo Bore

45-70 500g 2000fps at $30 a box you will have a customer for life and my night stand will be filled to the brim when the big bad wolf comes calling! New and exciting Tip options would be awesome and don't be shy with the powder now boys, anyone who complains can shoot the pillowy soft Remington's (notice they didn't make it on the rifle) I want something that will devestat what's on the other end and I don't need to worrie about a follow up shot!!!

Best prices and loads I have found for comparison.
30$ HMS 405g Bear Load Flat Nose
39$ remmington 405 pillowy soft powered load Flat nose
42$ 325g Horandy Leverlution
50$ 500g Buffalo bore FMJ

Ya that load won't happen. You might as well reload, and good luck.

Buffalo bores 500 grain load only goes 1625fps, you'd have to drop to a 405 grain pill to hit 2000+fps by their standards...

You are correct I think 500g at 1700-1800 might be do able! Haha I would settle for something 400g hollow point at 2000. Just kinda bored with the regular Flat nose stuff and frankly the Hornady stuff is "ok" but if I need the distance I'd rather just shoot my 308. Love carrying this for bush carry might not be as versitility as a shotgun but I like it way better. Only downside is 00 buck is .80 and slugs are 1$ vs 2-4$ for 45-70.
 
45-70, .357 magnum , .44 magnum will do for me !

Maybe some quality 7,62x39mm hunting loads in 150 gr. those are hard to find!
 
I'm just another guy looking for decently powerful 45-70 at less than $50. Got some nice 430 HSM "bear loads" a while back, but hate shooting them as I can't seem to be able to replace them fast enough...
 
I will second the .30-30, 303brit, and 8mm mauser. (I know you said it was not in the plans, but maybe if enough guys surprise you , you may reconsider. (at least 8mm Mauser...................... I would love some 190+grain hot Mauser loads.
