    All ready have a 45-70 I have used the 303 in the past but it’s been over 20 years. It’s the rifle it’s self that I really want. Just trying to decide on the cal. If it was in 7x57 there would be no question. And yes in the US Florida

    Short barrel trend

    I like them for certain jobs. Tight swamps or tight tree stands in the swamp. I love my trapper leaver actions with 16 in barrel and the 45-70 guide gun. And room clearing I like the 11.5 colt xm177 clone that I have had since the early 90s

    Tim Sundles 4 shots of 600 NE into Buff

    That’s strange. And I guess why personal experience can’t all ways be relyed on. I am not saying you’re experience is wrong. But for me the 45-70 on deer have dropped the quicker than anything else except a 450 bm. I have used hardcast.300gr hp 405gr sp And they dropped fast most of the time...

And the risk for hunting dangerous game by non standard equipment is it really as high as the risk of a bad shot by someone over guned because there going after something dangerous? I knew a old...
