Consider finding this webpage an accomplishment. You have located what is quite possibly the lowest-powered factory-loaded .45-70 Government ammunition on the market.
American Eagle Subsonic is Federal Premium’s answer to the huge uptick in suppressed lever-action rifle enthusiasts as of late. Although loaded with a bullet of ordinary weight, this round’s muzzle velocity is downright lethargic at 1,000 fps. That’s a good deal slower than the speed of sound, however, which is precisely how this ammo shows off a suppressor’s greatest sound-dampening capability.
This ammo’s also a fine choice if you want the gentlest possible recoil while you’re target shooting. You *do* want to use it for target shooting, too. Its .290 G1 BC projectile is a hollow point, albeit one that isn’t engineered to open up wide after impact. Ideal choice for a suppressor; far less so for deer hunting. The low-velocity bullet also fails to attain kinetic energy equal to the 1,000 ft lbs minimum recommended for whitetail.
