Product Overview
Grizzly loads this 300gr jacketed hollow point to 1500 fps for 1499 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The lighter bullet weight and hollow point design make it a deer and hog round rather than a dangerous game option. Expansion starts early at this velocity, creating a wide wound channel on thin-skinned game.
The 300gr weight recoils noticeably less than 400+ grain loads, making follow-up shots faster. Hunters working thick brush where shots come inside 100 yards will appreciate how quickly this bullet opens up. The moderate velocity keeps it safe for any .45-70 rifle in good condition, including older lever actions.
- 300gr weight keeps recoil manageable
- Hollow point expands well on deer and hogs
- 1500 fps is safe for most .45-70 rifles
- Quick follow-up shots due to lighter recoil
- 1499 ft-lbs limits it to medium game
- Not enough penetration for dangerous game
- Low BC of .22 means significant drop past 100 yards
- Hollow point may not feed in all lever actions
