45-70 Government Rifle Ammo 9 Items

.45-70 Government Rifle Ammo is a heavy-hitting, straight-walled cartridge designed for powerful close- to mid-range performance. With roots dating back to the late 1800s, it remains in demand for its ability to launch large, heavy bullets with deep impact and impressive momentum, especially in Brownells 45-70 Government Lever Action Rifles.

Ballistic Performance: Common bullet weights range from 300 to 405 grains. A 300-grain hollow point load typically travels around 1,850 feet per second (fps), offering over 2,200 foot-pounds of energy. Heavier 405-grain loads move at lower velocities (~1,330 fps) but provide massive penetration and knockdown power.
