Description
This is more than just ammunition. Federal and Henry Repeating Arms joined forces to create a limited-edition load marking a significant moment in American history. Each box features collector's packaging that celebrates the 250th anniversary alongside Henry's commemorative Golden Boy lever-action rifle, making this a must-have for anyone who appreciates firearms history and craftsmanship.
The Cattleman Edition's Performance
Loaded with Federal's proven brass and reliable primers, this round pairs a 300-grain hollow point bullet with a muzzle velocity of 1850 feet per second. That velocity range performs well in lever-action rifles, striking a balance between manageable recoil and effective terminal performance at typical hunting distances. The 300-grain weight is a sweet spot for the .45-70 cartridge, offering penetration and energy transfer that works across medium-sized game. Whether you're heading out to the range or the field, you're getting ammunition built on Federal's reputation for consistent quality.
Built for Henry's Golden Boy
Federal specifically developed this load with the Henry Birthday Boy rifle in mind. The cartridge geometry and performance profile are engineered to feed reliably through lever-action systems and deliver the accuracy you expect from a commemorative collaboration. This isn't generic ammunition repackaged for an anniversary—it was designed from the ground up for this partnership.
Collector's Appeal with Real Function
The collector's packaging sets these rounds apart from standard ammunition boxes. Each 20-round box celebrates American heritage while containing ammunition that performs just as well at the range or on a hunt. If you're building a collection around the Henry Anniversary rifle, this is the natural choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Federal ammunition work in my Henry Golden Boy rifle?
Yes. Federal specifically developed this load in collaboration with Henry for their commemorative Golden Boy rifle. The cartridge geometry and performance profile are optimized for reliable feeding and function through lever-action systems like the Henry platform.
Can I use this ammunition for hunting?
Absolutely. While this is a commemorative load, it's fully functional ammunition. The 300-grain hollow point at 1850 fps delivers reliable expansion and penetration suitable for medium-sized game at typical hunting ranges. However, the collector's packaging makes these rounds particularly valuable to keep rather than shoot.
Are the brass cases reloadable?
Yes. Federal brass cases are reloadable, which means you can reload these cartridges after firing if you're interested in handloading. The quality brass and primer construction make these cases suitable for reloading once fired.
Is this a limited production run?
Yes, this is a limited-edition collaboration between Federal Ammunition and Henry Repeating Arms to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. As with most commemorative ammunition, availability is limited, and quantities are expected to sell through as collectors and enthusiasts recognize the historical significance of the partnership.
