My 444S and the Hornady 265 fp is looking better and better.
But, I really really needed a 45-70, right? Doesn't everybody??

Seriously though, I'll probably end up with a heavier bullet.

I could just tote my '06 or 300 mag and have it covered, but these big bore lever guns are so damn cool and they handle like a dream...so closing the gap to 45-70 range ought to just add to the fun.
Thanks for the advice!
