With the introduction of Federal Premium's HammerDown ammo, lever-action hunters have a cartridge designed specifically to maximize their effectiveness in the field.
Browning Silver Series is designed from the ground up for North American big-game hunters, constructed with heavy-for-caliber bullet weights for optimal penetration.
While it may lack the speed and shapely beauty of modern contenders, this nearly 150-year-old cartridge continues to prove itself in the field. Whoever said nothing lasts forever obviously never met the .45-70 Gov’t.
If you’re in the market for a cartridge that will do double duty in both the hunting fields and on the target range, with a bit more horsepower than the Creedmoor provides, the 6.5 PRC is worth a hard look.
