Greetings @akaroa1 and all,
I can't think of any other cartridge of the 45-70's age that is still easily available in factory rifles and with plentiful components as well (in normal times at least). It is also used in black powder silhouette competitions out to 500 metres using mostly black powder and plain based cast projectiles. I struggle to think of reasons I don't have one.
Regards Grandpamac.
