I have a friend who is a reloader. I asked him to load me up some .45/70 loads for deer. According to Iowa law they have to be hollowpoints. He just called and said nobody has components for this cartridge.
Anybody know where to get them?

Finding components is tough right now. Many bullets of all various calibers are out of stock. Might be better off drilling a cast bullet and making it a "hollow point."

My friend says loaded ammo is going for two and a half bucks a round!
Good thing my Ruger is a single shot. Couldn't afford to shoot it much.

I've got Hornady 300gr HPs ready to load.

Are cast lead bullets allowed?
Did a quick look on the Iowa DNR site and saw mention of the hollow points being good and FMJ as bad. Saw no specific mention of jacketed soft point or all lead projectiles (though there is plenty mention of the evils of lead and the possibility of ingestion tiny fragments when eating game). As far as I'm concerned hollow points, in any caliber cartridge, are a poor choice for big game. But I guess their concern is for limiting range in flat areas.

I got a booklet when I got my upland game license and it says all loads hafta be hollowpoints.

I got the bullets and brass, but now I need powder and primers.
Nobody locally has any.

Somebody was told that a 3rd person had everything but brass and bullets.
