[QUOTE="Pinoniper, post: 2143174, member: 83870"] If you were a Buffalo hunter in the late 1800’s, using black powder, the 45-70 got the job done. Some people wanted a bit more range and oomph that the 45-90 delivered. But today, smokeless powder and modern rifles and modern bullets will deliver that increased range and power, possibly even more, in the 45-70. Thus, it is my theory that the 45-90 does not enjoy the same popularity as the 45-70 for this reason. Undoubtedly the 45-90 has a cool factor, but given how much more common brass is for the 45-70, that’s the way I would go. [/QUOTE]
