45-70 bullets

Looking for some .458 bullets for a 45-70 I recently picked up. Not too concerned with weight because they are so hard to find now but would prefer jacketed bullets.

You could try these Flex-tips. They shoot great. Brass should be reduced in length by about 1/10th" if you want them to feed from the magazine. Otherwise just load them in full length brass. I've done both.

Yes I did. I had about 15 in a box and loaded them last week. They shot real well. I had'nt seen any available but looks like Midsouth does have them. Thanks...
