    @Jit the best factory ammo currently available in NZ is the Hornady 325gr Leverevolution. Reloads take the 45-70 to whole new level, My current loads are:

    57grs AR2207 and Hornady 300gr projectiles these are doing 2110fps out of the 18.5 barrel.

    Second load is 51grs AR2207 and Hornady 350gr FP for around 1950fps.

    Both shooting around 1 inch groups at 50m with ghost ring sights.
