Just a FYI...
The 45/70 was developed for the 1873 Trapdoor Springfield. That was a bit after the Not-So Civil War.
As to the Rem. multi-ball load - I sold these when I worked in a gun shop back in the late 80's. I believe it was intended as a lower powered - close range ammo - kinda like the view I have of the Taurus Judge. I know there were complaints about leading, but I never shot enough of it to see it.
Have a good weekend,
