[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 852242, member: 30671"] I've had a 45-70 and in close with the right bullets it still works. Not a slight to it but when it's compared to the others for up close and personal work it's usually with bullets that don't give a good representation of their close range effectiveness. Example, in .30-06 and magnum .30's the Nosler 220 grain Partition will get the attention of big bear or moose when placed well. The .338's using 275 grain Swift A-frames or 300 grain Woodleighs also deliver close range performance. I don't know if .338 H&H was a typo or if you're including the .375 in your question but again there are some very good bullets for your purpose there. The more modern cartridges will deliver at longer ranges more easily the .45-70. [/QUOTE]
