Nosler 45‑70 Govt. 300gr Cann .458 Ballistic Silvertip (50ct)

The Nosler 45‑70 Govt. 300gr Cann .458 Ballistic Silvertip (50ct) is a high-performance bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking controlled expansion, deep penetration, and modern aerodynamics in classic big‑bore rifles. Featuring Nosler’s Ballistic Silvertip design—with a bonded-core construction, silver polymer tip, and Cannibal (Cann) configuration—this 300gr projectile delivers flat trajectory, consistent energy transfer, and dependable terminal performance. Each box contains fifty polished, weight-sorted bullets ready for exact seating in .45‑70 Government platforms.

Machined to a .458″ diameter with a sleek boat‑tail profile, the 45‑70 Govt. 300gr Ballistic Silvertip combines traditional .45‑70 energy with Nosler’s modern ballistic improvements. The silver polymer tip resists deformation during feeding and enhances ballistic coefficient, while the bonded jacket-core design ensures consistent expansion and structural integrity. This projectile is treated with Winchester’s Lubalox® coating—a black oxide finish that reduces barrel fouling and friction while promoting longer barrel life and consistent performance in lever-action or single-shot rifles.

Key specifications include a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.310 and a sectional density (SD) near 0.298. With an overall length around 1.575″, this bullet stabilizes well in .45‑70 Govt. rifles using 1:20″–1:22″ twist rates. The bonded core allows for approximately 60–70% weight retention after impact, providing straight‑line penetration and wide wound channels even through thick tissue and bone.

In field use, the 45‑70 Govt. 300gr Ballistic Silvertip produces rapid expansion and retained energy—yielding one-shot performance on elk, bear, moose, and other large game. The Lubalox® coating not only enhances barrel cleanliness and reduces fouling but also minimizes jacket damage, improving long-term accuracy and extending maintenance intervals.

This product is strictly a bullet component—not factory-loaded ammunition. Handloaders should consult Nosler’s published load data and reputable reloading manuals. Recommended powders include Hodgdon H‑4895, IMR 3031, or Reloder 15—each selected for consistency and pressure control in .45‑70 loads. Proper case preparation, neck tension, seating depth, and cartridge overall length are essential for safe, accurate handloading practices.

Combining Nosler’s bonded-core Ballistic Silvertip design, polymer-tip expansion, Lubalox® jacket coating, and aerodynamic boat‑tail form, the 45‑70 Govt. 300gr Ballistic Silvertip bullet component offers handloaders a durable, high-performance solution for large game and rugged environments.
