Most people beleive the 45-70 has plenty of bullet weight and hitting power but penertration can be little lacking .
All I meant was that if these bullets cause damage like an expanding bullet but improve the penertration it can only be a good thing .
I have not hand loaded for a 45-70 but have for a 444 marlin and a bullet like the HSP from Woodleigh would help this round to no end.

I fully understood what you meant and didn't have a problem with you saying it. In fact, I think you are on the right track.

The lack of penetration was partly because some 45/70 bullets are flat nosed.

It doesn't matter what it is fired from (cartridge wise).
the results will be the same on the animal, all else being equal.
