drae....you're going to have to back to your gun/info source...as there is no such cartridge....a guess could encompass a couple dozen diff. carts.....I would suggest you familiarize your self with ammo/cartridges/guns before you go any farther as you may be a danger to yourself ie: you may use the wrong ammo and hurt yourself....I (or others on this site) can help you out with this, so don't hesitate to ask questions!!!
Only 45 Winchester I have ever heard of is 45 Winchester Magnum
. Its an autoloader handgun cartridge (stretched 45acp with thicker walls) and pretty much gone the way of the dinosaurs.
Maybe check and see if your rifle is a Winchester chambered for 45Colt?? The caliber is most likely stamped on the side of the barrel.

45/70 is a fairly common cartridge. I'd guess you can find it in most stores, and don't need to special order.
Either way - factory 45/70 loads are sissy rounds. They are meant for older rifles. If you have a modern Marlin or similar, you can load them to much higher than factory. And if you're shooting a lot of 45/70, the reloading costs will pay for itself in short order!
