If you think a too hard and too fast 45-70 can't lose a deer, You show colors that bleach has run over. Ask Whitworth and I wish he would respond. He was with me with one, double lung shot, well over 200 yards with pink lungs, just a hole. Yeah hit the spine every shot but most of you can't hit a pop can at 100. My heroes! The wrong boolit in a 45-70 can fail but darn it is a BIG gun. Fools proliferate on shooting sites. Of all of you I would trust two, JWP and Whitworth, the rest pop keys.
Why in the flying hell you you go hunting WITH THE WRONG BULLET!
Anybody who cannot cleanly harvest a game animal should not be hunting.
I will tell you why, it was the stupid junk from experts that said just use a FN or WFN. Yeah I fell into the trap. Internet experts. Gun rags that are worse. Many promote such false information and it took me a while to wean out Just how bad you want others to follow you. I had sad results with a WLN so went to a WFN because of internet experts. What false junk, wish I could cuss! You see I was following some of you "experts". I came to truth so don't blow smoke at me. I doubt you have any idea what what a proper cast will be.
