If you are talking about the American Civil War, I can gaurantee you don't have .45-70 ammo from that conflict.



As to the OP, this is the first time I've ever heard of this load from Remington. I know Double Tap has what they call their "Double Defense" (or something) ammo that usually consists of a couple lightweight JHPs or other design bullet, and they make on for the .357 magnum.

Can't say I'd trust it to be any more lethal than a quality full power 125 grain SJHP. The Federal 357B load comes to mind, I've got a couple boxes of them tucked away.

Still a pretty cool item to have in the collection, even if it isn't super useful stuff. I wonder if it is rare or particularly valuable? It might appreciate in value over time if not.
