It was originally identified as the .45-70-405 with .45 being the nominal diameter of the bullet in inches, 70 being the volume of black powder measured in grains, and 405 being the weight of the lead bullet measured in grains. The 405 has been dropped because modern bullets are available with several different bullet weights from 250 grains to 500 grains.<\/p>\n<p>Powder volume for modern smokeless powder cartridges varies greatly depending on the brand of powder and the weight of the bullet. My reloading charts have some as low as 28 grains and none higher than 67.5 grains. Please consult a competent reloading chart for specifications.<\/p>\n<p>The Army considered the .45-70 a long-range bullet. Being a heavy, somewhat slow-moving bullet, it dropped considerably over a few hundred yards. This required a shooter to be cognizant of drop rates and target distance \u2014 if they were going to hit a man-sized target. They trained to hit 6\u00d76-foot targets at 600 yards, but I\u2019m willing to bet there weren\u2019t that many qualifiers at that distance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"125\" alt=\"Henry Brass Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate\" class=\"wp-image-88904 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=300%2C59&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=150%2C29&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=640%2C125&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=640%2C125&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Henry Brass Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate\" class=\"wp-image-88904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=300%2C59&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/02_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=150%2C29&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Henry Brass Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition to the trapdoor Springfields, the Army and the Navy used the .45-70 in several Gatling gun models up until around 1873. The Navy also used the .45-70 caliber in the M1873 and M1884 Springfield, Model 1879 Lee Magazine Navy contract rifle, and Remington-Lee. The last two were magazine-fed turnbolt repeating rifles. The Marine Corps used the M1873 and M1884 Springfield in .45-70 until 1897 when it switched to the M1895 Lee Navy rifle in 6mm Lee Navy.<\/p>\n<p>All this history is well and good. Notice, however, I haven\u2019t mentioned a thing about lever-action rifles yet. The first lever-action rifle chambered in .45-70 was introduced by Winchester in the John Moses Browning-designed Model 1873. John Marlin built the 1881 Marlin around the .45-70.<\/p>\n<p>When the Marlin 1895 came out it was chambered in .45-70, but that Model 1895 isn\u2019t the same as the one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ruger\/firearms\/rifles\/?srule=relevance&amp;brand=Ruger&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ammo-for-lever-guns-45-70-and-35-remington\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ruger<\/a> recently reintroduced for us to drool over.

Heavier bullet .45-70 cartridges are considered adequate for any North American big game, including the great bears, and it does not destroy edible meat on smaller animals such as deer due to the bullet\u2019s low velocity. It is very good for big-game hunting in brush or heavy timber where the range is usually short.<\/p>\n<p>The .45-70 has been used to hunt African game. And as we know from the movies, it is perfect for hunting Jurassic Park\u2019s most dangerous dinosaur, the Velociraptor. For hunting, the .45-70 is a rather short-range round because of its steep trajectory. It can be a long-range caliber for shooters with knowledge of windage and elevation and able to estimate or measure distance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"132\" alt=\"Henry Side Gate .35 Remington Rifle\" class=\"wp-image-88907 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=300%2C62&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=150%2C31&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=640%2C132&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"132\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=640%2C132&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Henry Side Gate .35 Remington Rifle\" class=\"wp-image-88907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=300%2C62&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/05_LeverActionAmmo.jpg?resize=150%2C31&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Henry Side Gate .35 Remington Rifle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/shop-by?cgid=99901&amp;searchBy=Brand&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ammo-for-lever-guns-45-70-and-35-remington\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ammunition<\/a> for .45-70 shooters is currently being manufactured by Barnes, Buffalo Bore, Federal, Fiocchi, Grizzly, Hornady, HSM, Remington, Sellier &amp; Bellot, Underwood, and Winchester in weights from 225 grains to 460 grains with lots of 405 grains in the mix. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/reloading\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ammo-for-lever-guns-45-70-and-35-remington\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reloading<\/a> dies for .45-70 are available from Hornady, Lee, Lyman, RCBS, and Redding.
