I know there have been numerous debates on the .45-70 in africa, and I know a lot of african hunters get upset when us Americans introduce the idea of bringing our gun into your backyards.

I agree that the .458 win mag, .416 rigby, .500 nitro, and other rounds are definately more powerful than the .45-70, and their's no question about that but is all that extra power and recoil and slow loading in a bolt or double rifle style really better then a lever gun with loads that are 75% as powerful but have 50% less recoil and 3x the speed in follow up shots

I have a custom lever action.45-70 that holds 8 cartridges, If I brought this ammo with me to africa I think it would do the job against all game.. yes or no?
