New .45-70 Gov’t Loads from Winchester

Two new loads for the .45-70 Gov’t will be offered by Winchester Ammunition in 2010.

Available in May 2010, Winchester will be offering a 300 grain Ballistic Silvertip load for the .45-70.  Winchester says the bullet will have a plastic tip, and the bullet will be coated in black oxide to reduce barrel fouling.

The second new load, a 375 grain Supreme Elite Dual Bond, will be available in June 2010.  The .45-70 Gov’t loading will have similar deep penetrating characteristics that the other loads in this line have.
