Ultramax Ult-45-70-2-N 4570Gov 550Gr Htjhc 20/10

If you shoot a .45-70 Government rifle, Ultramax Ult-45-70-2-N ammunition offers a reliable, cost-effective option for hunting and range work. This load delivers a 550-grain hard cast jacket hollow cavity (HTJHC) projectile, engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game. Ultramax ammunition is reloadable brass, which appeals to handloaders who want to stretch their ammo budget without sacrificing performance on the job.

The 550-grain bullet weight sits in the proven middle range for .45-70 hunting loads—heavy enough to carry energy downrange but not so heavy that it demands a specialist rifle. Whether you're shooting a Marlin lever-action, a Ruger falling-block single-shot, or another .45-70 platform, this round pairs quality components with the reloadable-brass advantage. Each box contains 20 rounds (packed 10 per box for storage and transport), so you get a convenient 20-count to the box while maintaining that classic .45-70 presentation.

Ultramax is known in the reloading and budget-conscious shooter community for consistent quality and attention to brass standards. If you're building a hunting load or want a straightforward, no-frills cartridge for your .45-70, this ammunition deserves consideration. The hard cast jacket hollow cavity design won't deform on contact with heavy brush or bone, making it a sensible pick for hunters working in thick country.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles will this .45-70 ammunition work in?

Ultramax Ult-45-70-2-N ammunition is .45-70 Government, so it will chamber in any rifle chambered for that caliber—Marlin lever-actions, Ruger No. 1 and No. 3 single-shots, Browning BLR, Henry rifles, and other .45-70 platforms. Always verify your rifle's chamber and consult the owner's manual before shooting any new load.

Is the brass reloadable?

What is HTJHC bullet construction and when would I use it?

HTJHC (hard cast jacket hollow cavity) is a bullet design that combines a lead core with a jacket and a hollow point tip. The hard casting resists deformation on impact, and the hollow cavity promotes controlled expansion. This makes it suitable for hunting medium and larger game where you want penetration paired with expansion—typical .45-70 hunting scenarios.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds, packed as 10 rounds per inner box for convenient storage and field carry.
