The Grizzly Ammo 45-70 Government +P ammunition delivers heavy-hitting performance for hunters and shooters who demand maximum stopping power from their lever-action rifles and single-shot platforms. Loaded with 460-grain Wide Long Nose bullets featuring gas check construction, this round is engineered for deep penetration and reliable expansion on large game. Each box contains 20 rounds, making this a practical choice for hunters who reload or prefer factory-loaded ammunition tailored to their rifle's capabilities.

The 460-grain projectile weight places this squarely in the category of premium 45-70 Gov loads designed for elk, moose, and dangerous game at hunting distances. The Wide Long Nose profile provides a long bearing surface for accuracy and consistency, while the gas check helps protect the bullet base during acceleration down the barrel—a critical feature in larger-bore cartridges where pressure and velocity demand precision. This is ammunition built for shooters who understand their rifles and aren't looking for compromises.

Whether you're working up loads for a Sharps, Winchester, or Marlin rifle, or you're a handloader scouting premium factory components, Grizzly Ammo's reputation for quality control and component consistency makes this a solid option to consider. These rounds are manufactured to exacting standards and loaded in manageable 20-round boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles can I use this 45-70 Gov +P ammunition in?

The 45-70 Government +P designation indicates this load is intended for modern rifles capable of handling elevated pressure. It is compatible with contemporary lever-action rifles (such as Marlin and Winchester models designed for +P), Sharps rifles, and single-shot platforms rated for the +P standard. Always verify your rifle's manual and manufacturer specifications before use.

Why does this round have a gas check bullet?

The gas check is a small copper cup attached to the base of the bullet. It protects the bullet's base from direct exposure to hot powder gases and melting, which is especially important in larger-diameter, higher-pressure cartridges like the 45-70. This feature improves accuracy and reliability in lever-actions and other rifles that generate significant pressure and velocity.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of loaded ammunition.

Is this suitable for long-range target shooting or hunting?

The 460-grain bullet is optimized for medium to close-range hunting applications where deep penetration is valued, particularly for larger game. Consult your rifle's ballistics data and your own experience to determine effective range for your intended use.
