45-70 govt

The .45-70 rifle cartridge, also known as .45-70 Government, was developed at the U.S. Army's Springfield Armory for use in the Springfield Model 1873, which is known to collectors as the "Trapdoor Springfield." The new cartridge was a replacement for the stop-gap .50-70 Government cartridge, which had been adopted in 1866, one year after the end of the American Civil War.

    I have 4 new, unopened boxes of 45-70 I accidentally bought from Cabelas yesterday. My idiot friend convinced me it would work in my Springfield Trapdoor. No, it will not work in a Trapdoor - it won't even chamber. This ammo is loaded light (1850 fps, 2280 ft-lbs) but it is not for antique...
