GRIZZLY CARTRIDGE AMMUNITION


Product Details
The Grizzly Cartridge GC45/70+P8 is a hard-hitting, overpressure .45-70 Government +P load engineered for hunters and outdoorsmen who face the most demanding scenarios in the field. Loaded with a 460 Gr Wide Flat Nose Gas Check (WFNGC) hard-cast lead bullet, this round launches at 1,850 fps and delivers a bone-crushing 3,496 ft-lbs of muzzle energy — making it one of the most powerful factory .45-70 loads available. It is purpose-built for brown bear, grizzly bear, moose, elk, bison, and boar, where deep straight-line penetration is non-negotiable.
