The Grizzly Ammo GC45/70+P5 delivers maximum stopping power for dangerous game hunting with its 405-grain wide long nose gas check bullet. This +P loaded 45-70 Government cartridge generates substantially higher velocities than standard loads while maintaining accuracy at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The gas check design prevents lead fouling and barrel leading that plague traditional cast bullets at high velocities. Standard 45-70 loads typically push 405-grain bullets at 1,330 fps, while this +P configuration achieves velocities approaching 1,500 fps. The wide long nose profile creates devastating wound channels while maintaining sectional density for deep penetration on large game.
Key Features
- 405-grain wide long nose cast bullet with gas check for reduced fouling
- +P loading generates 20% more energy than standard 45-70 loads
- Gas check prevents barrel leading at high velocities
- Wide nose design creates larger wound channels than round nose bullets
- Premium brass cases suitable for reloading multiple times
- Consistent powder charges ensure shot-to-shot accuracy
- 20 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
This ammunition excels in lever-action rifles and single-shot firearms chambered for 45-70 Government. The increased velocity extends effective range beyond 200 yards while delivering bone-crushing energy on impact. Weather-resistant primer sealing ensures reliable ignition in harsh hunting conditions. The gas check construction allows for sustained shooting sessions without accuracy degradation from barrel fouling.
