Hell, I stay ready with a couple hundred rounds loaded and ready to go. For me, it's the 45-70 and either a 480 grain paper patched bullet like Woody's Long Lance, or a 507 grain Govt. bullet. I ALWAYS have two or three of the Parker Hales in my pocket just in case.
Deer, hogs, and most of all, bison. I am seriously thinking about taking the bison at 400 yards or better to make a point. I know I can double lung it at that distance with barrel sights, and I also know the Sharps will shoot all the way through it with black powder. So, why the hell not? I have killed animals a lot smaller than a bison a lot farther than 400 yards in Africa with a Sharps with barrel sights, and I have a ranch owner that wants to see it done, so I guess it's showtime. I can't wait.
