Because it is overglorified in it potence, a huge number of gundummies @ nates cannot be swayed with crisp, clear data of the lousy ballistics, they cry "45-70" yet have zero clue of it's uselessness for ALL hunting conditions.... limiting themselves to rock throwing distances and tracking for hours into the night and often into the next day ... to be shot with a fkn 270 Win



The fact that the 45-70 would be lousy for some situations is beside the point. In others, it may be one of the best. The hunter would probably know which is which and have other options. This thread was started with that idea in mind for a better overall strategy to hunt Alaska.
