    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    The hot stuff in America is sold under Grizzly and Buffalo Bore brands

    For what it is worth, all 3 mates of mine who shoot factory 45/70 seem to use Hornady 325 Leverevolution...

    45/70 is just ridiculous. And fun. I’m glad I owned and loaded for one.

    Literally pole axes animals. Subs gets for the kids with serous power and .5moa. Full power rounds enough for buffalo.

    this needs re bumped as SOME of us caught the bug from it..... sitting on back burner at present but might just have to have a rethink soon.
