The 1886 Winchester was the first repeating “Buffalo” rifle. It was late to the game of the prime time buffalo slaughter but it did it's part at the end. The 45-70 is more than a match for any thing on this Continent. 300 Sierra, 400 Speer, RCBS 405 grain FN, and a 330 grain Lyman FN/HP are the bullets I use in my 86. The heaver the bullet the more it well thump you.
