- .458 inch diameter construction works with common 45-70 Government barrels and standard straight-wall reloading components, so it fits well with dies and data many reloaders already use.
- Coated Ballistic Silvertip jacket and streamlined nose help maintain velocity and energy downrange, which supports clean, ethical shots across typical straight-wall hunting distances.
- Consistent expansion and penetration characteristics make this bullet ideal for hunters who want a controlled, predictable wound channel rather than unpredictable fragmentation.
- The 50 count box provides enough bullets to develop a hunting load, confirm zero, and keep a dedicated lot ready for season while staying easy to track by part number and performance.
- If you hunt with a 45-70 and want a modern tipped hunting bullet for serious field use, Nosler Ballistic Silvertip 45 Caliber 300 Grain (51834) is a proven platform for big-bore straight-wall rifles.
