45-70 is a powder puff with factory loads. I've tried that Garretts in my wifes 1895 GG, and those hurt worse than my 458.

doubt it. boom of the the mild loaded 45-70 is much less painful than the crack of the 270, atleast to my ears......the guide gun is ported, not braked...it throws gas out to keep muzzle rise down but atleast with mine the ports are not directed back twords me. it doesnt have that loud of a muzzle blast if im not using max loads.

not worried about someone standing next to me. im worried about me. i dont shoot at a range and have yet to be in a situation out hunting where someone is positioned directly to the left or right of my muzzle to where it would be a problem........has happened a few times shooting ground squirrels. however with only one person shooting at a time out walking with hunting rifles anyone standing at the side had adaquate time to protect their hearing.
