Falcon I agree with your premise about the advertising. But they are not falsely advertising. Remember a 405 grain bullet at 2100 fps(from a 45-70) yields about 3600 ft# of energy. If you drop that to 1600 or 1800 fps it will still be well above 2000 ft# of energy. And two pellets will push a 405 at that velocity.

When you talk to long range shooter's they do not use modern so called BP bullet's. They use hand casted lead bullet's in weight's well over 500 or even 600 grains. Those big bullets will travel and kill a long way out. I think the Gibb's 45 caliber bullet weigh's 525 grains?? Some one please correct me if that is wrong, but I think it is right. Tom.
