Seller's Description:
Very good. 184 pages. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Includes Illustrations. Acknowledgments; Introduction to First Edition; and Addendum--Six More Years. The author's intention is to relate his personal experiences with a number of different.45-70 rifles over the past four decades. Some of the things he did during those years were rather harebrained and certainly should never be repeated. Other things were done in the interest of gaining knowledge, and still others were to utilize the full potential of the cartridge--a goal that few, if any, have ever achieved. The author wrote this book at the age of 71, it contains years of the author's personal experience, compiled in the interest of gaining knowledge and utilizing the cartridge's full potential. Expanded version includes six more years; Lever Marlin 1895SS Navy Arms Buffalo Rifle plus the new long range.45-70. If you are a serious reloader and shooter of the 45-70, this softbound book is a necessity. It condenses the author's 40 years of experience with this caliber, down to a usable reference. This expanded version includes 6 more years than previous versions and contains information on the Lever Action Marlin 1895 SS, Navy Arms Buffalo Rifle, plus long range 45-70 information. 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. The new cartridge was completely identified as the.45-70-405, but was also referred to as the ".45 Government" cartridge in commercial catalogs. The nomenclature of the time was based on three properties of the cartridge: .45: nominal diameter of bullet, measured in decimal inches, i.e., 0.458 inches (11.63 mm); 70: weight of black powder, measured in grains, i.e., 70 grains (4.56 g); 405: weight of lead bullet, measured in grains, i.e., 405 grains (26.2 g). The minimum acceptable accuracy of the.45-70 from the 1873 Springfield was approximately 4 inches (100 mm) at 100 yards (91 m), however, the heavy, slow-moving bullet had a "rainbow" trajectory, the bullet dropping multiple yards (meters) at ranges greater than a few hundred yards (meters). A skilled shooter, firing at known range, could consistently hit targets that were 6 × 6 feet (1.8 m) at 600 yards (550 m)-the Army standard target. It was a skill valuable mainly in mass or volley fire, since accurate aimed fire on a man-sized target was effective only to about 200-300 yards (180-270 m). After the Sandy Hook tests of 1879, a new variation of the.45-70 cartridge was produced: the.45-70-500, which fired a heavier, 500 grain, (32.5 g) bullet. The heavier bullet produced significantly superior ballistics, and could reach ranges of 3, 350 yards (3, 120 m), which were beyond the maximum range of the.45-70-405. While the effective range of the.45-70 on individual targets was limited to about 1, 000 yards (915 m) with either load, the heavier bullet produced lethal injuries at 3, 500 yards (3, 200 m). At those ranges, the bullets struck point-first at a roughly 30 degree angle, penetrating three 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick oak boards, and then travelled to a depth of eight inches (20 cm) into the sand of the beach. It was hoped the longer range of the.45-70-500 would allow effective volley fire at ranges beyond those normally expected of infantry fire. The result of the quest for a more accurate, flatter shooting.45 caliber cartridge and firearm was the Springfield Trapdoor rifle. The.45-70 used a copper center-fire case design. A reduced power loading was also adopted for use in the Trapdoor carbine. This had a 55 grain (3.6 g) powder charge. Also issued was the.45-70 "Forager" round, which contained a thin wooden bullet filled with birdshot, intended for hunting...
