Description
Box of twenty new production black powder .45-55 Government Carbine ammunition. Round nose, hollow-base 405gr bullet to replicate the original 1886 load for the Trapdoor Springfield line of carbines.
In 1886, the US Army adjusted their ammunition in order to distinguish the 45-70 rifle ammo (500gr) from the 45-55 carbine ammo (405gr). Before then, they sat the projectiles to the same overall length, which meant the only way to tell them apart was by the paper packaging (not a very effective method of keeping them straight).
We can do custom loads as well. Please contact us for a quote.
Before firing:
– Confirm you have the correct caliber
– Have a qualified gunsmith inspection the condition of your firearm
– Always wear eye AND ear protection
We assume no liability for the proper function of your vintage firearm.

Just wanted to say service was great and all questions were answered. I have not shot the ammo yet but couldn’t be happier with the communication with Old South Ammo!
