This isn't about sniper rifle, but when I was about 10 years old my oldest brother acquired a 45 70 rolling block rifle and it seems to me that the ammo was longer than the 45 70 of today. It might be it just seemed that way because I was young, can anyone clear this up for me thanks

If it is 45-70 then that is what it is. It may have had longer bullets loaded into it, but case dimensions haven't changed.
It could have been 45-90.
It could have been 45-90.
May also be that he was warned not to use “modern” 45/70 in it. There is .45/70 loaded up for things like NEF break-opens or reproduction guns that was not safe in some trap doors or rolling blocks
