Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Barnes TSX ammunition legal for hunting in California?
Yes. Barnes TSX bullets are constructed entirely of solid copper with no lead core, making them fully compliant with California's Condor Zone and statewide lead-free hunting requirements. This is one of the primary reasons many California hunters choose Barnes Pioneer ammunition for their 45-70 lever guns.
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in my tubular magazine lever-action rifle?
Absolutely. Barnes Pioneer ammunition is specifically engineered for use in tubular magazine lever-action rifles. The flat-nosed TSX bullet profile is safe for stacking in a tubular magazine, and the overall cartridge dimensions and pressure levels are carefully optimized for smooth feeding, extraction, and ejection in popular lever-action platforms like the Marlin 1895 and Henry Original.
What kind of game is the 45-70 Government 300 Grain TSX suitable for hunting?
The 45-70 Government with a 300-grain TSX bullet is well-suited for a wide range of large and dangerous game, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, black bear, feral hogs, and elk at moderate ranges. The TSX bullet's near-100% weight retention and four-petal expansion deliver deep, reliable penetration even through heavy bone — making it a trusted choice for hunters who need decisive stopping power.
