Grizzly Ammo Gc45/70+P2 45-70 300Gr Jacketed Hp 20 Per Box/10 Case
Grizzly Ammo's 45-70 Government ammunition loaded to +P2 specifications offers hunters and shooters a potent option for leveraging the full potential of this classic cartridge. Built with a 300-grain jacketed hollow point projectile, this load is engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game at hunting distances. The 45-70 is celebrated for its power and reliability across both modern and period-correct rifles, and Grizzly's +P2 loading pushes performance beyond standard pressures—so it's critical to verify your rifle's chamber marking and construction before use to ensure safe operation.
Each box contains 20 rounds, and the case pack of 10 boxes (200 rounds total) makes this a practical choice for hunters who like to stock up and practice with the ammunition they hunt with. The jacketed hollow point design delivers consistent, predictable performance while the construction quality from Grizzly Ammo (Rintoul) reflects decades of ammunition expertise. Whether you're working up loads for a modern lever gun, a Ruger, or other 45-70 platform, consistency matters—and Grizzly's attention to quality helps you build confidence in your shot.
If you're hunting elk, moose, or other heavy game and your rifle is rated for +P2 pressures, this ammunition gives you a substantial terminal ballistics advantage over standard 45-70 loads. As always with premium or high-pressure ammunition, start by confirming your rifle's specifications and then pattern a few rounds at your hunting distance before heading afield.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this 45-70 ammunition safe in my rifle?
The +P2 designation indicates this load is loaded to higher pressure than standard 45-70 ammunition. Before using any +P2 ammunition, confirm that your specific rifle is marked and rated for +P2 pressures. Older or standard rifles may not be safe to shoot with high-pressure loads. When in doubt, consult your rifle's manual or contact the manufacturer.
What game is the 300-grain hollow point good for?
The 300-grain jacketed hollow point is suitable for medium to large game hunting at typical 45-70 distances. The hollow point design provides expansion for ethical takedown while the projectile weight and +P2 velocity support deep penetration. Verify that your intended hunting is legal for the caliber and load in your jurisdiction.
What does the case pack include?
This case includes 10 boxes of 20 rounds each, for a total of 200 rounds of 45-70 +P2 ammunition.
Can I use this in a lever-action rifle?
Many modern lever-action rifles are rated for standard or magnum 45-70 loads. However, you must verify your specific rifle's pressure rating before using +P2 ammunition. Check your rifle's markings, manual, or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
