The Barnes Harvest Collection Sierra Pro-Hunter .45-70 Government 300-grain Flat Nose (Barnes part no. 32479) pairs Barnes’ Harvest Collection with a classic cup-and-core Sierra Pro-Hunter bullet sized for big lever-action cartridges. The flat-nose profile is built for tubular-magazine safety and reliable feeding in lever guns, while the Pro-Hunter’s traditional jacketed construction is designed to expand reliably on large game. .45-70 Government has been a proven big-bore hunting cartridge since the 1870s, and a modern 300-grain loading like this one keeps that heritage relevant for today’s lever-gun and single-shot hunters.
