.45-70

.45-70 Government, ye olde firepower. Designed shortly after US Civil War for the first US standard-issue breech-loading rifle, this round not only survived to the present day, but also got a second breath when introduced to modern propellant and projectile technology. Despite its rather short range, .45-70 is extremely capable and versatile hunting round.
