About the Manufacturer
The company who brought to life "the Gun that Won the West" is the same company who today continues to supply sportsmen with the best sporting ammunition in the world.Founded in 1866, Winchester is one of the world's most widely recognized and respected brand names.

For more than 140 years, the name "Winchester" has come to mean many things to many people. To most folks it means ammunition and the Gun that Won the West. For many others, however, it also rekindles images of fine hand tools and cutlery, fishing tackle, the classic artwork and hunting traditions.

To encourage the preservation of wildlife habitat, Winchester is a major sponsor of conservation organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and Quail Unlimited. And it's a major backer of sporting clays and other clay target shooting games.

About the 45-70 Cartridge
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).
