Not All are bone crunchers on big game. I sold the .348 and .444, not because of the cartridge but more due to the platform, my .45-70 is a Guide gun and is simply better handling than the other two rifles were with the longer barrels."


It is interesting that appearance does not always equal personal performance. For me, the Win 1895 .405 is a better fit than any other big bore lever guns. It is also second only in power to the 45-90 in lever guns. My 1886 45-90 Ele load was 450 grain NF solid at 2150 fps MV - frontal brain shot went through head and into body. DRT
