lol I think it drops off a cliff after 300, this chart says about 220" at 500 yds, that dont seen right to me. http://gundata.org/cartridge/103/.45-70-government/
This seems more like what Ive seen, about 150" @ 500 http://www.brassfetcher.com/Rifles/45-70%20GOV/Bullet%20drop.bmp
On the "it makes a great story" I once hit a soda bottle at 620 paces with a scoped .22lr lever gun, $12.00 bet that I never got payed for....... I dont know how much drop that was but it was kinda like chucking a football at the end zone.
Forgot to mention thats a nice looking gun you got there.
