Cartridge guide

About the .45-70 Government

The 1873 US Army cartridge is the big-bore lever-action standard in Australia today. Modern loads push a 300 to 405 grain projectile at 1,800 to 2,000 fps for buffalo, scrub bulls and sambar in close scrub, while black-powder loads serve the long-range single-shot crowd.

We stock .45-70 Government rifles and ammunition, plus brass and dies for reloaders. Firearms are shipped Australia-wide to your nominated dealer.
