Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 45-70 vers 45-110

Pumpgun, I agree with Grasshopper on this one. I have a 45-110 that is more fun than a barrel of monkeys to shoot. However, IF you are going to only load smokeless, the 45-70 is just dandy. I personally do not consider either a 45-70 or especially a 45-110 to be a "short range" cartridge for hunting. You have a Taylor?? Use heavy (500grain) cast bullets and reloader 7. It will hit well and hard as far away as you could see the critter. Just learn the sights is all. I know one thing. You ARE gonna have fun.
