Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa What about the 45/70 in Africa

along the lines of Allen's post on the other thread and a short discussion via pm with another member(we didnt reach an agreement i dont believe though), i dont view the 45-70 as ideal for dangerous game hunting however if the 375H&H is adequate than a properly loaded 45-70 is also. but as i also told the other member via pm that ive been around sufficient numbers of pissed off bovines of the domestic variety that if it were my hide, i would wish for something bigger than either.......so when it comes down to it, if hunting one with a 375H&H isnt a stunt than using a properly loaded 45-70 isnt either.............and if someone screams sectional density to me, please explain to me the 470 Nitro, same weight bullet as the 458 Win, going the same speed but is a bigger diameter therefor less sectional density.....sectional density by itself is a BS arguement......
