How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. Dashed line: where the bullet goes subsonic. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 400 yards.

Product Overview
Grizzly's 300-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point .45-70 load made for deer and elk. A lead core sits in a copper jacket with an open cavity at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 1,500 fps with 1,499 ft-lbs, the mild end of the caliber.
Nothing in .45-70 is gentler to shoot, in a cartridge that kicks as hard as this one. An open nose over a lead core makes it a hunting bullet, and at 1,500 fps it is the slowest of the caliber's jacketed loads.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Super-X 300-grain JHP shares the bullet weight and the open-nosed jacketed build but adds 380 fps at the muzzle and 856 ft-lbs of energy.
- About 18 percent less recoil than Winchester's Super-X 300-grain JHP in the same rifle
- Holds 1,046 ft-lbs at 100 yards
- A jacketed hollow point at 300 grains, where the caliber's heavy loads run to 460
- A lead core, so it cannot be used where lead-free ammunition is required
- Winchester's Super-X 300-grain JHP shoots a great deal flatter at every distance
- The least muzzle energy of the .45-70 hunting loads
