As someone else mentioned, no matter what you do with a .45-70, it’s not going to be a flat shooter. I’ve no interest in trick bullets and tend to prefer “standard “ bullet weights in most calibers. Thus I use 400 grain Speers or 405 Remingtons in my Guide Gun at around 1750 FPS. They are both more than accurate enough and kill deer about as dead as anything else.
