About 45-70 Ammunition

The .45-70 Government was introduced in 1873 and originally designed for the Springfield Model 1873 “Trapdoor” rifle. Known for its powerful punch and long history in American firearms, the .45-70 remains a favorite for big game hunting and historical firearms enthusiasts.

Types of 45-70 Loadings

  • Hollow Point (HP): HP loadings feature hollow point projectiles like the name suggests. This removal of material makes the projectile lighter and promotes high velocities. These types of loadings are optimized for self defense or match use and have a tendency to expand on impact. A good hollow point loading is one that achieves an appropriate level of penetration while expanding reliably upon impact within the target.
  • Flat Soft Point (FSP / JFP): FSP or JFP loadings have a flat nose design, which is safer for use in tubular magazines. These are commonly used in lever-action rifles and are effective for hunting.
  • Hard Cast Flat Nose (HCFN): These types of loadings feature distinct flat projectiles which are a stark contrast to typical pointed and rounded projectiles. While these loadings may have inferior velocity potentials, their flat point nature aids in facilitating effective expansion. Simply put, these types of loadings are optimized for defensive use due to their effective terminal ballistics and wounding capabilities.

Firearms that Use 45-70 Ammo
