This is our 45-70 Government load that is ideal for deer at < 100 yards. The reason for its name, “The Goldilocks Load,” is that its recoil is JUST RIGHT. Falling between our low-recoil, Trapdoor safe load (1,300 FPS from a 18″ barrel) and our potent, High Power load (2,054 FPS from an 18″ barrel) this round outperforms the low-recoil load at longer distances without making your shoulder sore.
