The Grizzly Ammo GC45/70+P4 delivers maximum stopping power for dangerous game hunting with its 405-grain bonded flat point bullet in 45-70 Government +P configuration. This premium ammunition combines traditional caliber reliability with modern ballistic engineering for hunters facing North America's largest game animals.
What Makes This Different
The bonded core construction prevents bullet separation on impact with heavy bone and dense tissue, maintaining weight retention above 95% for deep penetration. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets that fragment, the electrochemical bonding process fuses the lead core to the copper jacket at the molecular level. The flat point profile creates massive wound channels while the +P loading generates 15% more energy than standard 45-70 loads.
Key Features
- 405-grain bonded flat point bullet for maximum weight retention and penetration
- +P loading delivers approximately 2,100 fps muzzle velocity and 3,975 ft-lbs energy
- Electrochemically bonded core prevents jacket separation on heavy bone
- Flat point design creates wide wound channels for quick, ethical kills
- Premium brass cases with boxer primers for reliable ignition
- Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent velocity in extreme conditions
- 20-round boxes packaged in protective foam inserts
Field performance data shows consistent 2-inch groups at 100 yards from quality lever-action rifles. The heavy bullet weight and bonded construction excel in thick brush where shot angles may encounter shoulder bones or heavy muscle mass. Professional guides rely on this loading for brown bear, moose, and elk hunting where shot placement through heavy cover demands maximum penetration. The +P pressure rating requires modern firearms rated for higher pressures.
