45-70 Ammo

We don’t expect the U.S. Army to begin using the 45-70 Government again any time soon. Don’t hold your breath until military surplus 45-70 starts hitting the market! But for all your target shooting and hunting pleasure, Sellier & Bellot’s new production 45-70 is going to hit the spot.

This round has the 45-70’s true 405 grain projectile: a soft point, to be precise, which fans out inside of soft tissue to quickly drop game with a wide diameter wound cavity. This round’s classic bullet simply can’t be as accurate as the high-tech polymer tips hitting the market, though it’s still ballistically efficient enough to reach 300 yards with over 1,000 ft lbs of energy to spare. (That’s if you have a 24” barrel – not a BFR.) The bullet features symmetrical notches around its exposed core to help control positive expansion, and its broad tip makes it safe to load in a lever-action rifle.

Sellier & Bellot’s state of the art factory in the Czech Republic draws straight brass cases, loads clean-burning propellant, and mints non-corrosive Boxer primers. This ammo’s nonmagnetic bullets offer highly consistent ballistic performance, so you can hunt even better than the old-timers.

This 45-70 Government cartridge by Fiocchi features a classic 405 grain lead round nose flat point projectile. Fiocchi carefully cast the monolithic bullet to be without any voids that could have thrown it off trajectory, so this is a round that will truly reflect your skill with an already difficult enough to aim caliber. The bullet’s broad meplat will facilitate feeding in a lever action rifle and works to prevent an unintentional discharge in a tubular magazine, and furthermore stamps a large hole in targets and game animals alike. Along with its great impact energy, this round’s bullet will do exceptional damage during penetration owing to lead’s innate tendency to deform.

This cartridge’s brass casing is fresh out of its factory, nearly certainly the one Fiocchi owns in Ozark, MO. Its precise dimensions also ensure flawless feeding and extraction in rifle and revolver alike. If you’ve a classic firearm that you’d rather treat with care, know that this round’s primer and propellant both burn nice and clean!

Whether you're toting a Marlin Model 1895 into the woods or carrying a Magnum Research BFR as a backup, these .45-70 Govt rounds from Black Hills will put some bite behind your big bore bark. Black Hills ammo is manufactured in Dakota and has been loved by the shooting community since the company's birth in the 1980s. They've built a stellar reputation for exacting specifications in service to big game hunters, high-volume competitors, and military snipers. This particular ammo is from their Authentic Cowboy Action lineup and, like all of their brands, receives attentive inspection before leaving the door.

Each round features a heavyweight 405-grain lead flat nose (LFN) projectile that is loaded to travel at 1,250 feet per second; this lends the round light recoil which is appropriate for match purposes. The projectile is contained within a reloadable brass casing which also hosts clean-burning propellant and a non-corrosive Boxer primer. The flat nose bullet does well to create proper circular holes in paper targets for easy zero confirmation at the range while the bare lead material does offer limited expansion into medium-sized game targets with thin skin.

Load up your favorite rifle with these .45-70 Government rounds from Winchester and you'll be all set for all the elk, black bear, and similarly sized game that you can handle. Winchester's ammunition is supported by over 150 years of experience during which they have created some of the most influential calibers and firearm actions on the planet. Their Super-X line aims to provide hunters with ammunition that is as effective as it is affordable. Each of these rounds is crafted using a reloadable brass casing fitted with a non-corrosive Boxer primer and filled with Winchester's own special blend of propellant.

The load is crowned with a massive 300-grain projectile with an exposed lead tip which bears a precisely cut hollow cavity; this construction allows for incredible expansion during entry which is expertly retarded by a strong copper jacket and a toothed cannelure at the bullet's crimp point. The sum of these features is a round that will punch straight through thick breastplates and shoulder bones while retaining weight, mushrooming outward, and delivering game-dropping energy to vital areas in order to drop game animals without undue suffering. The cannelure also serves to keep the bullets in place under recoil for the preservation of accuracy.

The most American handgun cartridge is a .45 cal. So too is the most American rifle cartridge – the 45-70 Government. It takes some skill to put that heavy bullet precisely where you want it, but nothing’s more satisfying than dropping a hog or buck with the old-fashioned round.

Fiocchi created this round so you can nail down any medium sized game on your hit list. It’s loaded with a nontraditional 300 grain projectile, so you’re going to witness a higher 1,900 fps muzzle velocity and flatter short-to-medium range trajectory. The 0.185 G1 ballistic coefficient projectile retains at least 1,000 ft lbs of kinetic energy until about 205 yards, and stays supersonic until about 257 yards.

The bullet itself is a hollow point flat nose. It has a gilding metal jacket that prevents fragmentation to promote an effectively deep wound channel. It’s technically a semi-jacket, as it leaves a good portion of the lead core exposed at the tip. That helps its nose cavity unleash wide terminal expansion at relatively low velocities. The HPFN is safe to load in a lever-action rifle, so your Marlin or Henry is ready for action as soon as UPS or FedEx delivers the goods to your doorstep.
