This is the bullet that defined a caliber. Our 405 grain Round Nose Flat Point (RNFP) lubed bullet is cast from certified 92-6-2 lead alloy, sized to .459″ for traditional .45-70 chamber dimensions. With deep lube grooves and a plain base, it’s the go-to choice for black powder substitute cartridge shooters, cowboy action fans, and lever-gun lovers looking for a clean, reliable cast bullet—just like the old days.
If you prefer classic cast bullets with traditional lube, this one delivers all the authenticity and performance you’re after.

I just opened my order of 100 rounds. They were packaged like they were the “Crown Jewels”. After opening one of the “Boxes”, yes a wooden box sealed with straps, I went down stairs and weighed them. I weighed 20 bullets all were within 1 or 2 grains of 405 grains. If they shoot as well as they were packaged and weigh, (yes the shooting part is on me), I will definitely reorder. Can’t wait to run them thru the old Trapdoor.
