Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 44 mag or 45-70 for Iowa deer

I've used the 44 mag and 45-70 in leverguns a lot through the years. 125 yards was a long shot with one of my Winchester 94 .44 mags but it was cake for the Marlin or H&R .45-70. I feel 175 starts getting long for the traditionally loaded 45-70. Leverevolutions of course change things for both rounds.
