New for 2026: Federal x Henry Birthday Boy Collector’s Edition Ammo

For 2026, Federal Ammunition has partnered with Henry Repeating Arms to produce a collector’s series ammunition. 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 the company’s 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.”
