I think some may be downplaying the 45/70 with proper handloads, with the 480 gr. WFN or the 420lfn cast bullets, Taylor knockout values easily surpass the .375 H&H and even the 416 Rem. mag....yet can be loaded down to be a pussy cat or you can use Rem. factory ammo. Don't get me wrong, I like the 30/30, but it's a popgun beside a properly loaded 45/70.
x2 .45-70 is a hand loaders dream. If you can live with the ballistics this gun can do just about anything.
