45-70 Government – 300 Grain JHC – Fiocchi – 20 Rounds

This 45-70 Government cartridge by Fiocchi is topped with a 300 grain projectile. That’s less than 75 percent of the weight that the caliber traditionally calls for, which will give you a flatter trajectory while hunting as well as a bit less recoil — an especially welcome feature if you plan to load this ammo in a revolver instead of a rifle.

Don’t be put off by this round’s bullet’s somewhat unconventional JHC designation. It’s basically a jacketed hollow point, but with a tiny bit more lead exposed at the tip. Such a bullet will resist deformation under powerful pressure, blast through most any layer of hide it could be confronted by, and then mushroom outward dramatically to distribute fantastic energy as it establishes a wide wound channel.

Fiocchi makes great ammo for a great price. These 20 cartridges’ brass casings are impressively consistent, exactly what you’d like to feed into a classic firearm or valuable reproduction. Their non-corrosive primers and clean burning propellant will treat your firearm the way it would like to be treated as well!
