[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2705628, member: 26077"] If you want fast and flat, lighter and faster bullets are always the answer. That is not what the 45-70 is designed for. It kills great because it puts large holes deep through game. A 350 Grain Hornady RN at 1500 FPS with a 100 yard zero drops, 22 at 200 and 44 inches at 250. At 1900 fps it drops 13.5 at 200 and 28 at 250. If you are trying to use them for longer distance, then yes, to a degree speed will flatten them out a bit but at either speed it isn't just a hold on fur proposition,. You need to know the trajectory to hit and kill things cleanly over 150 yards. With the big heavy bullets it is about knowing the trajectory and using it effectively, [/QUOTE]
