Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip 45-70 Government 300 Grain Round Nose Hunting Bullets - Box of 50

The Nosler Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip 45-70 Government 300 grain round nose hunting bullets deliver the controlled expansion and velocity-stable performance that lever-action and falling-block hunters demand. Built with a tapered jacket, polymer Silvertip tip, and boat-tail design, these projectiles are engineered to expand reliably across the range of velocities typical of .45-70 hunting loads—from close cover to extended distances—while retaining weight for deep penetration on big game. Each round nose bullet is treated with Lubalox, Winchester's black oxide coating, which reduces friction in the bore, lowers pressure, and extends barrel life while minimizing fouling between shots.

Reloaders choosing these bullets get a purpose-built platform for accuracy and consistency. The aerodynamic Silvertip initiates rapid, uniform expansion upon impact, while the heavily jacketed base acts as a mushrooming platform that keeps the bullet together through bone and muscle. The boat-tail profile benefits long-range shooters, though the round nose profile is equally at home in lever guns where it feeds reliably and shoots true. The Lubalox coating means less cleaning downtime and less copper buildup—a real advantage if you're running multiple loads through the same barrel in a season.

This is a component product: you'll be sorting these into your reloading bench, measuring charges, and assembling them with your press and dies. The box of 50 gives you a practical reload quantity, enough for a solid hunting season or serious range development without requiring a second purchase mid-session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles are these bullets designed for?

These are .45-70 Government projectiles, so they're intended for rifles chambered in that cartridge—primarily lever-action rifles like the Marlin 1895 and Henry rifles, as well as falling-block and other single-shot platforms that chamber .45-70. The round nose profile feeds smoothly in lever actions.

Do I need special dies or equipment to reload these bullets?

You'll need standard .45-70 Government reloading dies, a press, and the usual reloading components (cases, primers, powder). These are standard rifle bullets; no special equipment is required beyond what you'd use for any .45-70 handload.

What does the Lubalox coating do?

Lubalox is a thin black oxide coating that reduces friction between the bullet and bore, lowering pressure during firing and extending barrel life. It also protects the bullet jacket and minimizes copper fouling, so you'll spend less time cleaning your bore between shooting sessions.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting?

Yes. The Ballistic Silvertip design, tapered jacket, and heavily jacketed base are built for controlled expansion and reliable penetration on game. The 300 grain weight is a standard hunting load for the .45-70.
