45-70 Ammo
.45-70 ammunition is a former military cartridge developed by the US Army and used in the "Trapdoor" Springfield Model 1873. Effective against man-sized targets out to 300 yards, the .45-70 was a powerful cartridge for its time and was used in both rifles and Gatling guns.
.45-70 cartridges fire heavy 300 or 400 grain bullets at muzle velocities in the 1,500 to 2,000 feet per second range. This gives them excellent close-range performance but significant drop-off at a distance. As a result, modern use of this caliber typically involves hunting in areas with dense vegetation; in these environments, the .45-70 can be used against everything from deer and hogs to bears.
Despite its length, the .45-70 has also been used in revolvers such as the Magnum Research BFR. Shooters of these "hand cannons" must be steady-handed and strong of wrist!

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.

Fiocchi 45-70 Government 300 Grain HPFN – 20 Rounds
$49.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Fiocchi Condition New Bullet Weight 300 Grain Bullet Type Semi-Jacketed Hollow-Point (SJHP) Use Type hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 45-70 Government Manufacturer SKU 4570B Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 762344712192 Cost Per Round $2.49 per round 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. -

The FTX’s ballistic coefficient is stellar thanks to its pointed elastomer tip and its secant ogive projectile, so it delivers the accuracy and flat trajectory you need to take your game from afar. The bullet’s tip wedges deep within its high antimony lead core upon impact, initiating rapid expansion which is controlled by the bullet’s specially engineered jacket. This bullet’s InterLock ring soundly locks the core and jacket together during penetration, assuring weight retention that permits the FTX deliver up to 40 percent greater energy than a traditional flat point bullet could provide.
This round’s Flex Tip makes it ideal for use in lever action rifles, as it virtually eliminates the chance of a dangerous magazine misfire occuring. Its bullet’s enhanced ability to maintain its velocity over longer distances compensates well for its relatively heavy weight, making this a worthy hunting cartridge. Thanks to Hornady’s scrutinous quality assurance program you may take heart that each of these 200 cartridges will behave exactly like its brothers.
