A friend of mine has expresses an interest in getting a 45 70 Springfield model 1873 and he asked me if they fired modern bullets/ammo.
It is not something I know anything about so any information would be appreciated.

The loads are reduced when compared to the loads that can be shot out of modern rifle with a much stronger action. The 45-70 is really a handloaders gun and the loads can be tailored for whatever action that you are shooting.
