.45-70 Government 405 Grain Hi=Tek Coated Lead Cowboy Action Lead Cast~ 100% Hand-Loaded~ The .45-70 rifle cartridge, also known as . 45-70 Government, was developed at the U.S Armyâs Springfield Armory for use in the Springfield Model 1873, which is known to collectors as the âtrapdoor Springfieldâ. The new cartridge was a replacement for the stop-gap .50-70 Government cartridge which had been adopted in 1866, one year after the end of the Civil War. As is usual with U.S. military ammunition, the .45-70 was an immediate hit among American sportsmen, and the .45-70 has survived to the present day. Today, the traditional 405-grain (26.2 g) load is considered adequate for any North American big game within its range limitations, including the great bears, and it does not destroy edible meat on smaller animals such as deer due to the bulletâs low velocity. It is very good for big-game hunting in brush or heavy timber where the range is usually short. The .45-70, when loaded with the proper bullets at appropriate velocities, has been used to hunt the African âBig Fiveâ. The .45-70 has been loaded and used to harvest everything from birds to elephant and the cartridge is still undergoing new development work well over a century after its introduction.
The .45-70 retains great popularity among American hunters for the niche it is suited for. In addition to its traditional use in rifles, Thompson Center Arms has offered a .45-70 barrel in both pistol and rifle lengths for their Contender single-shot pistol, arguably the most potent caliber offered in the Contender frame.

In these challenging times in our industry, things change quickly. One day, we are well stocked up on an item, and the next day, we could be out. We are doing everything possible to hand-load our ammunition and get products shipped in a timely manner, but we cannot simply turn machines up like the âfactoriesâ do! Yet, we are resourceful in our ways- and usually have ammunition when others do not.
We also strive to provide tremendous customer service. We try to answer all office calls- and actually prefer calls over emails or social media. After your order, our in-stock items typically ship within 24 hours!
From time to time- we do offer industry updates, special promotions, or announcements of new products. If you care to register with us below, we will be sure to include you in these email updates. (We do not share our list with others- or inundate you with emails all the time).
Thank you for considering Choice Ammunition if you are a new customer- and thank you for another order if you are returning with us again! We truly appreciate all of you, and value each and every order that is made with us.
