ANOKA, Minnesota - April 3, 2026 - Federal Ammunition has officially begun shipping its Federal X Henry Collector’s Edition ammunition, created in partnership with legendary U.S. firearm manufacturer Henry Repeating Arms. This limited-edition load was developed for Henry’s commemorative 45-70 Government Golden Boy lever-action rifle, touted as the Birthday Boy. It celebrates America’s 250th anniversary with a unique offering built for both collectors and shooters.

“It’s a landmark moment in American history, and this collaboration celebrates that heritage in a meaningful way,” said Federal’s Centerfire Rifle Ammunition Director, Mike Holm. “The Henry Birthday Boy is a specialized version of their iconic Golden Boy lever-action rifle. By pairing their America’s 250th commemorative rifle with our special-edition collector’s load, we’re giving collectors and shooters ammunition that honors the past while delivering the performance they expect.”

The Federal X Henry Collector’s Edition load is chambered in the classic 45-70 Government cartridge and features a 300-grain Hollow Point bullet for accurate, reliable performance at the range or in the field. In addition to its collectible packaging, the ammunition is loaded with top-quality Federal brass and primers to ensure consistent function and trusted performance.
