[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1359460, member: 97414"] The Return of the 45/70 is on a come back up here in the Northern part of North America. I was suprized to learn that it is a contender into 1000 yard long range,,, it surely delivers the mail down range with those 300+++ gr bullets. A few folks up our way in Western Canada took this caliber on for bush Harvesting,,, they have the short barrel units for this. One fellow has the great plains buffalo rifle with the Tang site pin and peep hole rear. It's pretty accurate off the 2 sticks. Yes,,, those big lead wads are pretty slow, but the big diameter frontal of bullet hits like a freight train. Lead or jacketed dosen't matter as they perform on big game up close to mid range,,, Deer fall like domino's. I never owned one, but I've had my go with the 50 caliber black powders shooting mimes. The 45/70's have the advantage of fast loading and a fraction of good accuracy,,, I've good luck with the BP. Yuppers,,, the old work horse has held its own,,, sure nice to see it's come back. I'm sure that someone with first hand know of this cartrage will chime in with a write up. Don't know what it is, but old school cartrages catch my fancy. Western Canada Pal Don [/QUOTE]
