The Barnes Originals Semi-Spitzer .45-70 Gov bullets bring decades of reloading heritage to the handloader seeking reliable, hard-hitting performance in one of America's most iconic rifle cartridges. Since their introduction in 1939, Barnes Originals have been the choice of serious hunters and precision reloaders who refuse to compromise on accuracy or terminal performance. These 300-grain projectiles are built from solid lead cores wrapped in pressure-formed 100 percent copper tubing, a construction method that delivers the consistency and durability handloaders depend on.
What sets these .458" semi-spitzer bullets apart is their proven terminal behavior: they expand to over 200 percent of their original diameter on impact while retaining up to 90 percent of their initial weight. That combination of controlled expansion and weight retention translates to deep penetration and reliable energy transfer on game at typical .45-70 hunting ranges. The flat-base design pairs well with lever-action rifles and single-shots alike, giving you flexibility in loading for your specific rifle and hunting conditions.
Whether you're loading for whitetail, elk, or reaching out with a modern inline muzzleloader in .45-70, Barnes Originals demand attention to detail and respect for the cartridge's capabilities—but reward that effort with bullets that perform when it counts. Each box of 50 gives you a solid supply for testing loads and getting to the field.
