Federal Fusion .45-70 Gov 300gr
Federal Fusion ammunition combines a molecularly fused jacket with a pressure-formed core to deliver uniform expansion and deep penetration on big game. The .45-70 Government 300-grain load is purpose-built for lever-action rifle hunters pursuing deer, hogs, and black bear at moderate ranges. Fusion’s bonded construction ensures the bullet retains the vast majority of its mass through tough hide and bone.
Bonded Construction
Federal’s electrochemical bonding process fuses the copper jacket directly to the lead core, virtually eliminating jacket/core separation on impact. Weight retention is consistently high, and expansion is predictable across the cartridge’s velocity range.
Purpose-Built for the .45-70 Gov
At 300 grains with the Fusion bullet, this load is optimized for the pressures and velocities typical of lever-action and single-shot .45-70 rifles — the historical home of the cartridge.
