Oh, I've been watching what you guys say, and you ain't wrong! When you get 400+ grains moving along, it's a hammer.


I just like exploiting versatility. That big ol' case can do a lot of things.


The funny thing is that I've gotten to where I like the .45-70 with a 435 to 500 grain bullet moving along at 1500 to 1700 fps. I feel well armed.

I know you probably feel that's too fast, but remember, I'm still evolving in this big-bore thing.
