WHAT IS THE .45-70 GOVERNMENT?

This ammo was designed to replace the 50-70 loads, and it was officially adopted in 1873 to be used in the 1873 Springfield trapdoor action rifle. The round has several names such as 45-70-405, U.S. government, .45 government, or again the 45-70 Govt and was first designed as a black powder round but has since been upgraded as a smokeless cartridge which can cover a trajectory range of up to 600 yards.

The American army kept this cartridge for military use only until after the American-Spanish war, and it was only after this period that the 45-70 ammo was introduced for use by civilians. After its introduction to public service, this load gained massive popularity amongst competitive shooters, big-game hunters, and civilians for its precision target shooting and deep penetration power on target.

This cartridge is known for its excellent performance in taking down big games like the North American beast, which is hard to get prey to. The originally designed .45-70 ammo fired a 405 bullet grain with a muzzle velocity of 1,330 ft/s with an energy of almost 1600 ft-lbf, taking down big games like moose and bears at a range of about 200 yards.

Though there are more powerful cartridges than this round, like the .444 Marlin, the.458 Winn Mag and the .450 Marlin. Despite the old nature of this bullet, several ammo companies like the Hornady manufacture this bullet still date. We have quality .45-70 ammo in stock from top manufacturers at competitive prices.
