In the realm of big game hunting, where precision and power converge, the .45-70 Government load stands as a testament to ballistic excellence. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this ammunition is designed for those who demand superior penetration without compromising on safety.
With a formidable 405-grain Wide Flat Nose bullet, it delivers an impressive velocity of 1810 feet per second and generates 2914 foot-pounds of energy when fired from a 22-inch barrel Marlin rifle. The result is unparalleled stopping power that will leave deer, elk, moose, hogs, and even bears regretting their choice of habitat.
Despite its mightiness in the field, this load maintains safety across all modern firearms chambered in .45-70—excluding only the antiquated trap-door models due to pressure concerns. Operating at a manageable 25,000 psi (pounds per square inch), it achieves ballistics comparable to much higher pressure cartridges without overstepping safe operational limits.
For hunters seeking reliability combined with robust performance against nature's toughest quarry, this .45-70 Government offering provides an unmatched balance of tradition and innovation.
