[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1354377, member: 13632"] I shot a 45-70 for a lot of years on big game and I'd say the results should be expected, a 45-70 is more akin to a high power arrow than a high power rifle round, to just straight up pole ax something with a 45-70 I shot 300gr soft hollow points and this would rip an elk down with a shot through the lungs, I caught one once and it was the size of a silver dollar. Shooting anything like a round nose or flat nose and a lung shot things would just stand there for round after round, I put 5 though the chest of a white tail doe at 50 yards and she stood there, its just punching 45 cal holes through. The heavier bullets or non hollow point will run through an elk length wise but you'd better shoot through the shoulder is your looking for consistent knockdown. I would completely expect a beef to just stand there and take rounds till their lungs finally fill or collapse. [/QUOTE]
