The Barnes Harvest Collection brings together proven components for hunters who want consistency and accuracy without stepping up to premium long-range loads. These 45-70 Government cartridges pair Sierra's time-tested Pro-Hunter bullet with careful factory loading to deliver what matters in the field: reliable feeding, consistent ballistics, and terminal performance you can count on.
The Sierra Pro-Hunter 300-grain flat-nose bullet is built for controlled expansion and penetration through bone and tissue. Designed specifically for the 45-70 bore size, this bullet expands reliably across a wide velocity range, from modest velocities in older actions to the hotter loads modern lever guns and single-shots can handle. The flat-nose profile feeds flawlessly through tubular magazines and rifles with traditional actions, making it a practical choice whether you're running a classic Marlin, Henry, or modern Ruger rifle.
At 1895 fps muzzle velocity, these loads perform best within the 45-70s effective range window of roughly 150-200 yards. This is where the cartridge shines regardless of whether you're hunting in thick timber, brush-choked coulees, or just prefer a rifle that doesn't demand extreme distance shooting. The 300-grain bullet carries plenty of energy for deer, elk, bear, and similar game when placed right. It's a workhorse load that doesn't overcomplicate things.
Barnes loads these rounds with brass cases suitable for reloading, giving you the flexibility to get more use from each component. The ammunition is assembled with the same attention to detail that drives the Harvest Collection across multiple calibers. If youre looking for a no-nonsense hunting load that handles a range of rifles and still performs where it counts, this is solid ammo to keep in rotation.
These are full-power 45-70 loads suitable for modern rifles in good condition, including lever-action rifles (Marlin, Henry, Winchester replicas), Ruger No. 1 and No. 3 single shots, and other strong-action firearms. Do not use in antique Trapdoor Springfields or other vintage military rifles. If you're unsure about your specific rifle, have a gunsmith inspect it first.
At 1895 fps, the Sierra Pro-Hunter expands reliably while maintaining good penetration through heavy bone and tissue. The flat-nose design ensures consistent expansion across the 45-70s effective hunting range and feeds flawlessly through tubular magazines. This makes it a practical choice for medium to large game hunting at typical close-range distances.
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. They come from the factory without being crimped in a way that prevents reloading, giving you the option to develop your own loads if you want to. Just follow standard reloading procedures and data for 45-70 ammunition.
These Barnes Harvest rounds work well for deer, elk, bear, and similar-sized game within the 45-70s effective range. The 300-grain Pro-Hunter bullet is designed for controlled expansion and deep penetration, making it ethical for medium and large game when shot placement is accurate.
