that girl is too thin for my liking, she has no ass.

I wish buffalo bore made their 300 grain for .45-70 in a solid version, and also their 405 grain version in a solid.

You need to take a look at the Barnes Busters for the .45/70. Solid bullets designed to break bone and penetrate.

Well I think the 45/70 lever gun is certainly capable of doing a good job on African game or any other especially if you have those Beartooth bullets called "Piledrivers" in the magazine.

Now for those that just don't seem to understand what a "piledriver" bullet really is, take a look over on the Beartooth.com sight and get all the facts on what these Hardcast Bullets have done in the past on African dangerous game. It just might change your mind about lead hardcast bullets.

Hell, he needs to look at those swimsuit pictures again. Plenty caboose there.

Hatari,
You have too much taste for this thread.

John

haha she's too thin for my taste , i still wouldn't turn her down if I had an opportunity

thanks. I just checked them out, looks like a solid copper bullet. I have to get into reloading when I get some more money and a job. I think the 300 grain bullet I have from buffalo bore is bonded so it's probably good for thin skinned game and maybe even grizzly bear, the 405 grain has good penetration, people forget that although it has a soft lead point, most of it's mass is still solid copper and that will penetrate like hell. Obviously not optimal for dangerous game, but still will do the job

I've never had the pleasure of hunting Africa, but Fred Bear did, with a bow. I've shot the .45-70 and feel it is adequate for African game. Furthermore, you'll have a professional hunter with you, just as Fred did, in case something goes wrong. I don't feel you would be undergunned with a lever action .45-70, any more than I would be with my Ruger No 1 Single Shot .375 H&H. I tell people the same thing when they say a .357 Magnum handgun is too light for deer. I say, It's more powerful than an arrow.

Good post.

Polska,
Some advice - When you start a thread and ask for people's opinions on a subject, you should probably let them know ahead of time that your mind is already made up and you'll only accept opinions that agree with yours.
