For hunting with a Rossi R95 lever-action in .45-70, Hornady LEVERevolution 325-grain FTX is a popular and effective choice due to its consistent performance and expansion. For larger game like bear, Barnes VOR-TX 300-grain TSX FN is a solid option due to its penetration and controlled expansion. For self-defense, while .45-70 isn't the most common choice, the Hornady LEVERevolution or other rounds with good expansion and penetration would be suitable for close-range encounters. Hunting: Hornady LEVERevolution: This round is widely recommended for lever-action rifles due to its polymer tip that improves ballistic performance and expansion upon impact. The 325-grain FTX bullet is a good balance of weight and velocity for deer and similar-sized game. Barnes VOR-TX 300-grain TSX FN: For larger game like bear, this monolithic solid bullet offers deep penetration and reliable expansion, making it a good choice for hunting larger, tougher animals.
