The HSM Bear Load .45-70 Government 430gr (HSM part no. 45-70-12-N) is a 20-round box loaded with a 430-grain round nose flat point bullet with a gas check. HSM built it for serious hunters and shooters, with big game hunting its first-listed use. At 430 grains, the rounds offer substantial impact for big game and other high-energy shooting. The round nose flat point is meant to maximize energy transfer. The gas check helps reduce lead fouling, which HSM says enhances accuracy and preserves barrel life.
