[QUOTE="Rick_W, post: 1612439, member: 6226"] Not looking for the BEST, just the most versatile. And not looking for a wonder-bullet that will work on deer at 50 yds traveling 3000 fps just as well as on a buffalo at 400 yds traveling 1500 fps. Knowing the area to be hunted, the animal pursued of and the range to be shot I would hope to be carrying the appropriately constructed round. The .45-70 can be loaded down to powder puff rounds with 300 gr cast lead bullets over Trail Boss for short range thin skinned game and can also be loaded with jacketed or solids over appropriate powder charges for most any dangerous game. And out of a Marlin Guide Gun it's fairly light, maneuverable and quick with follow-up shots. But that doesn't mean it's the most versatile, though it's probably good enough for most. [/QUOTE]
