45-70 Cowboy 405gr Flat Point/Bevel Base/Groove (257ct, $0.204/bullet)

I have loaded and shot a lot of different 45-70 bullets and I keep coming back to this bullet profile. I run these at about 1450 fps over IMR 4198. They are accurate and a very effective killer of anything you hit. Thay always provide complete, straight line penetration and good blood trails though blood isn't needed because I've never had an animal go more than 20 yards. Additionally, they do not bloodshot meat and you can eat right up to the bullet hole. Combine all of that with the fact that they are 16 cents a bullet and these are hard to beat. Only reason for 4 stars is that I wish there was still an option for lube. I do apply lube to these on top of the coating otherwise I get leading in the last few inches of my barrel.
