I read that same article--I really didn't take away from it that it was being promoted for others to do it--more that yes, it could be done..

Thought it was really interesting in that he did it and that the "old" 45-70 was up to the task..

Not sure if you remember the article recently published stating the advantage of using "heavy for caliber" bullets---ie. using 350's in a .375 --very interesting and as the article pointed out, the extra weight does make a difference

As to your comments on some idiot going out and trying it on his own..Nature has its own way of cleansing the gene pool..
