.45-70 Government 370 Grain Lever Gun Safari Raptor HP (Lead Free) ~ 100% Hand-Loaded~
Originally introduced by the U.S. military in 1873 for the Springfield Trapdoor rifle, the .45-70 Government has earned one of the most enduring reputations in firearms history. Its name reflects its original loading: a .45 caliber bullet propelled by 70 grains of black powder. Designed during the American frontier era, the cartridge quickly became known for reliability, authority, and exceptional performance on large game.
Over the decades, the .45-70 transitioned from military service into the hands of hunters, guides, and outdoorsmen across North America. Its ability to launch heavy bullets with tremendous energy made it particularly effective for bison, elk, moose, bear, and other large game animals.
Despite being more than 150 years old, the .45-70 remains remarkably popular today. Modern rifles and advancements in ammunition have transformed this historic cartridge into a versatile option capable of everything from traditional woods hunting to dangerous game applications. Lever actions continue to define the classic .45-70 experience, while modern single-shot and bolt platforms have expanded its capability.
Few cartridges have survived generations while remaining as respected, practical, and widely used as the legendary .45-70 Government.
Choice Ammunition loads the legendary .45-70 Government with the advanced 370 grain Cutting Edge Raptor using the same precision handloading practices that define our reputation. Each load is carefully developed, validated, and monitored for consistency throughout production to maintain dependable performance lot after lot.
The solid copper Raptor is engineered to shed nose petals for rapid energy transfer while the solid shank continues penetrating deeply, delivering exceptional terminal performance for hunters seeking modern capability from a classic cartridge.
The Bullet:
The 370 grain Cutting Edge Safari Raptor™ is a precision-machined non-conventional (NonCon) brass solid designed to deliver exceptional terminal performance with controlled energy transfer and outstanding penetration. Featuring Cutting Edge’s 3+1 driving band design to reduce barrel strain and the proven 67% Meplat BBW#13™ nose profile, the Safari Raptor is engineered to create initial hydraulic effect while maintaining straight, deep penetration on large and tough game.
