Federal Fusion ammunition was built from the ground up for hunting, and the .45-70 load carries that same philosophy into the field. This is ammunition that understands what it takes to stop game efficiently, with a construction designed to work reliably in real hunting situations rather than theoretical scenarios.
The 300-grain bullet features Federal's signature molecular bonding process, which electrochemically joins the copper jacket to a pressure-formed core. This approach virtually eliminates jacket separation, meaning the bullet holds together as it plows through tissue and bone. The skived tip promotes consistent expansion at various ranges, whether you're taking a close shot through brush or stretching it out across an opening.
What makes this load stand out is the balance it strikes. The bonded construction retains weight through the animal, translating to penetration that matters when hunting thick-skinned game. But it's not a bullet that over-penetrates and wastes energy exiting the far side. Instead, it expands in a controlled manner that transfers energy where you need it. The 1850 fps muzzle velocity develops 2280 foot-pounds of energy, giving the .45-70 the kind of authority that makes it a legitimate choice for deer, black bear, and similarly-sized game.
The ammunition ships in new production brass cases with boxer primers, which means reloaders can run these cases through their presses multiple times. The brass is quality Federal production material that handles the pressures of the .45-70 consistently and reliably. Nothing fancy or exotic, just solid ammunition that does what it's supposed to do, round after round.
Yes, Federal Fusion ammunition works in any standard .45-70 rifle, whether it's a lever-action like a Marlin or Henry, or a bolt-action platform. The 300-grain soft point bullet is designed for reliable feeding and consistent performance across all common .45-70 platforms. If you're running a lever gun with a tubular magazine, always check your rifle's manual for any specific ammunition recommendations.
Absolutely. Federal includes boxer-primed brass cases that are designed for reloading. This is a premium aspect of the Fusion line that adds value if you handload, since you can process these cases through your equipment multiple times before they reach the end of their life.
Federal designed this bullet with a molecularly bonded jacket and a pressure-formed core that promotes controlled expansion at impact. The skived tip helps initiate mushrooming consistently, and the bonding keeps the jacket and core together as the bullet penetrates. You get reliable performance without erratic expansion that can vary shot to shot.
Federal Fusion is purpose-built for hunting, and this .45-70 load is effective on medium to large game including deer and black bear. The 2280 foot-pounds of muzzle energy and weight retention characteristics make it a solid choice for hunting applications where the .45-70 is appropriate. Always follow best practices for shot placement regardless of how powerful your ammunition is.
