Overview
Black Hills’ HoneyBadger load is built for hunters who want a non-hollow-point option in 45-70 Government. It uses a copper projectile with optimized nose flutes and is described as near barrier blind, making it suited to demanding field conditions where consistent terminal effect matters. This 325-grain loading is intended for serious big-game use, especially when a traditional hollow point is not desired. It comes packaged 20 rounds per box.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This load uses a non-hollow-point copper projectile, so it is a different terminal design than traditional expanding hunting bullets and may not suit every preference or application.
- The description emphasizes barrier-blind performance and wound cavity formation, but it does not provide detailed ballistic specifications such as velocity, energy, or trajectory data.
- At 325 grains, this is a relatively heavy 45-70 Government load, so users should confirm it matches their rifle’s chambering and intended use.
- Packaged 20 rounds per box, which may be less convenient for higher-volume range use or load development.
