Fireworks! Barbecue! Those big soft pretzels that you can dip into little cups of mustard. Parades! Quilt raffles! There are countless ways to celebrate these United States of America’s semiquincentennial on July 4th, 2026.
But what if you want to honor our Founding Fathers’ finest hour with the help of your 45-70 Government rifle? What will you do then?
You’ll choose Federal Premium’s 250th Anniversary USA edition rifle ammunition, we hope! This ammo exhibits all the same quality as you’d expect of its Minnesotan manufacturer’s American Eagle line, and loaded with bullets that you can trust for target shooting, hunting, and stockpiling in the event that the British ever decide to resume the Revolutionary War.
This round’s bullet is lighter than the classic 405 grains. That’s good if you want a flatter and easier-to-aim trajectory, and don’t mind wind deflection becoming more of a bother over longer distances. The jacketed soft point design is tried and proven to do it all (within reason), and supplies the terminal expansion you’d want for bagging whitetail and smaller game. Its 0.289 G1 BC represents this approximate ballistic performance:
0yds: 1,850 fps | 2,280 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 1,610 fps | 1,728 ft lbs | 6.0”
200yds: 1,400 fps | 1,305 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 1,225 fps | 1,000 ft lbs | -23.8”
400yds: 1,096 fps | 801 ft lbs | -70.9”
500yds: 1,008 fps | 677 ft lbs | -146.8”
Fire this ammo and reload its brass cases. The straight and strong shells are up to the task. Or, alternatively, don’t fire this ammo. Sit on it, and admire its limited edition packaging decades from now. Resist the urger to imagine what the men depicted on the box would have thought of their country in its present state.
