The 45-70 Government ~ Back from the ashes of history!

The 145 year old 45-70 Government, nearly forgotten and virtually ignored for nearly 60 years, has returned to stay, and is better than ever, with improved modern loadings! Learn about the history of this Sesquicentennial military round and the 1873 U. S. Springfield rifle, that rode into history with Maj. General George Armstrong Custer at the Little Big Horn, and how it rose from the ashes of history in recent years to become one of America's modern favorite big bores, capable of taking the largest game on earth. See what makes it also an ideal round for the everyday modern deer hunter, survivalist, and woodsman.
