'''.45-70 Government''' is a type of [[ammunition]] for firearms. Despite ostensibly being a cartridge intended for rifles, it is classified as a <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol caliber.
When this cartridge was first invented, it was loaded with blackpowder. With the advent of smokeless powder, the amount of powder required to reach the same velocities as with blackpowder was greatly reduced, leaving a lot of empty space in the case. As such it became possible to load .45-70 in a much greater variety of loads, from low-powered loads replicating blackpowder performance, to powerful, high-velocity modern loads that are unsafe to fire in blackpowder-era firearms, such as the Springfield Trapdoor rifle.<br/>
Because only <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol calibers have access to +P and +P+ loads, .45-70 in the game was therefore classified as such, in an attempt to represent what is possible in real life with this cartridge.
.45-70 Government is pronounced ''forty-five seventy Government''. The name comes from a combination of the bullet diameter (0.45 inch) and the amount of grains of blackpowder (70 grains) that one loaded cartridge contained. Modern propellants may not be loaded with the same quantity of powder, but the name was retained.
This caliber may also be known as '''.45-70 Gov't''' (a shortening of Government), or simply '''.45-70'''. There is no formal metric designation for this caliber, but if one existed, it would likely be '''11.43x53mm R'''.
