Fusion 45-70 Gov 300gr (Per 20)
Fusion centerfire rifle ammunition gives hunters a deer bullet of unimaginable kinetic force. These were the original offerings that paved the way. They electrochemically joined pure copper to an extreme pressure-formed core to ensure optimal performance. The resulting integrated projectile releases radically high terminal energy on impact, radiating lethal shock throughout the target. This energy is optimized through mass weight retention, a top-secret tip-skiving process and bullet integrity.

Developed by the U.S. government for the trapdoor Springfield, the 45-70 was introduced in 1873, thus among the oldest cartridges still in continuous production. In the hands of the U.S. Army this was the cartridge that really won the West! Although officially replaced as our service cartridge by the 30-40 Krag in 1892 the 45-70 saw service in Cuba and the Philippines. It had long since been a popular sporting cartridge--and remains so today. Using a .458-inch bullet in a rimmed 2.105-inch case, original loadings with 70 grains of blackpowder used a 500-grain bullet for infantry and 405 grains for cavalry. Today's factory loads with smokeless powder are mild due to potential use in the weak trapdoor Springfield action. Standard is a 405-grain bullet at 1330 feet per second, with 300 and 350-grain loads at higher velocity available. The 45-70 was and is widely chambered in single-shots and remains popular in large-frame lever actions from Browning/Winchester, Henry, and Marlin. —
