[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 583075, member: 21068"] Absolutely. The 45-70 has got a trajectory like a rainbow and the wind blows it all over the place. It's only advantage over your 30-30 is that it has more knock down power due to a heavier bullet. If you built an accurate bolt action in 6mm Remington, you could smoke the pants off your neighbors 45-70, assuming shooting skill is equal of course. The only thing that 6mm's lack in the Long Range department are lack of bullet energy for killing large or big game at extreme distance, and spotting our own hits is sometimes a little tougher due to the smaller bullet/less mass. Other times, spotting our own hits is easier because of less recoil. As far as shooting paper or any kind of target practice goes.......they are truly tough to beat. Especially when cost and recoil are figured in. [/QUOTE]
