Click on the drop-down box that says "Centerfire cartridges" on the left and select "45-70" near the bottom.

You can say that again.... Saw an old man with a Single shot 45/70 hit a full grown cow elk at 150 yrds. The impact threw the elk sideways about 3 feet. She was DOA.

I have a buddy that carries one in Alaska for bears. He trusts it more than a 12 gauge full of slugs.

the 45/70 govt is one of the most powerful american rounds ever made.it really has a limited range but inside that range it has few peers in knock down power. i used to shoot 405 gr soft points.like hitting large northern whitetails with a bus..

i shot it today and man i like it ,,i kicks bout like a 12gauge would,,,it accuray to at 100 yard you put them side the middle well what left of it

[MississippiBoy]

Somebody please give me a dictionary of tnfisherman's language. I think he's trying to speak, but I never can understand him...

[lowrider]

if you say it aloud and slow...nevermind, still incomprehensible.

[jmartin]

If it is anything like my Buddies 450 Marlin. It kills on one end and cripples on the other

[MIbasser]

Okay, how about this.... it kicks like a mule, it's pretty accurate at 100 yards, a little to the side of the center, however there is not much left of the center after a couple of 3/4" holes were made.

[tnfisherman]

i ment to say was it will drill the center out

[zooker]

i take and tell ya weins are needin to send tnfisherman a tenn/english dict-son-airy..
soin he can lernt to enouncate...

[bamabassman]

hahahaha. take it easy gang ol tnfisherman couldn't type cuz the recoil damaged his arm nerves ok? hahahaha.

[zooker]

come on bama i'll let you shoot my 500 sw rifle just once.i be nice and remove the muzzle brake first though.


zooker

[tnfisherman]

yea thats the reason,,, what type of damage does the 45/70 do on the inside of big game....there i typed really slow for you all

[zooker]

i hit a coyote running flat out. for a second it looked like a truck with a broken frame. then he piled up..damage wise think muzzel loader shooting a 45 sabot-which is about what you have- coming out of a 50 cal muzzel loader..

tnfish, you don't have to start speaking normal english for us. if all the mexicans ain't gonna learn to speak our language, you ain't gotta

[tnfisherman]

they need too

[bamabassman]

no thankye zooker. i love my 12 ga rem, and 30 cal m1 carbine. do want a winchester 30-06 and marlin 30/30 lever action. along with a few double barell rabbit ears (410,12ga,16ga,20ga). and i STILL wat a 9mm handgun. clock perfered. but alas....not enough muhla just now.

[jmartin]

bamabassman Gotta warn ya on them Glocks had one for several years and I couldnt hit a barn at 25 feet and I mean a big barn, but I let a police buddy shoot it one day and he put 15 rounds in a rapid fire pistol target no problem. Moral of the story I cant shoot Glocks worth a Sh%t. However after switching to the new Pt 1911 from Taurus my Friendly Competion Shooting has improved 100%

[MIbasser]

Bama, I'm a fan of Sig's. I have a Pro40 and love it. However I would like to try out that 500 S&W hand cannon.....

[tnfisherman]

i love them m1 carbine too.....i can put 17 rounds from a glock with the head of a man target....i love the glocks there so smiple i was field stripin one the first i had one......
