Almost the same, but a 45-70 in a Guide Gun. A pleasure to shoot with 405 grain slugs and factory Rem ammo (like 1,230 fps). Decided to hop it up to around 1,760 fps with hand loads. Holy Moly! That was a mistake. Need to find someone to shoot up the last 85 rds for me.
Either lighter slugs or be happy with a little less velocity. Should still drop anything living in North America.
Shot some handloads my dad loaded with a 420gr cast bullet @ 1700fps in a lightweight Ruger #1.....my 375H&H is more comfortable.....
