PREVIOUSNEXT
The .45-70 Government is one of the oldest rounds on the list, adopted by the U.S. Military in 1873. The cartridge served for 19 years and went into obscurity by the early 1930s. The .45-70 has seen a comeback in recent years, a number of manufacturers cambering rifles for the round, along with Magnum Research producing revolver to fire the beast.
