In the Battle of Little Bighorn, General George Custer's troops primarily used .45-55 caliber ammunition, which was designed for the Springfield Model 1873 rifle, commonly known as the "Springfield Trapdoor." This round was a single-shot cartridge, and it was not particularly effective against the well-coordinated Native American forces. Custer and his men were outnumbered and faced tactical disadvantages, which contributed to their defeat in the battle.
