45/70 ammo
Gentlemen, does anyone here know of a decent source for 45/70 Gov't ammo? I've been searching and I keep coming up with stuff that costs more than $2.00 every time you pop a cap.
Thanks. Cerberus . Mods, feel free to move this where it belongs. I just wanted to get the greatest amount of eyes on it. Thanks |

Dixie Gun Works has 45/70 blanks for about $.80 @...probably Lyle Gun line throwing cartridges surplus from the US Navy...they can be reloaded, may contain a black powder charge depending on age. They used to be quite easy to find...cheap even.

I bought a hundred pieces of brass, and dies. I cast my own bullets, 300 and 405 grainers. Some I load with black powder for the 1873 and use smokeless in the guide gun. Really the only way to go on 45-70 if you are going to shoot it much. Graf & Son is my go to place for reloading. They charge only a $7.95 handling charge and pay the shipping unless you have some hazmat stuff. If you don't reload, maybe you should.

I would like to purchase some 45-70 government with smokeless powder for my Springfield Trapdoor rifles. Something that will not EXPLODE my antique guns.
