This will be my last reply to this post. This is getting pretty silly. I never "dared anyone to prove me wrong". And I never said that the 45-70 was god's gift to big game hunting either. Nor did I say that it was beter than classic rounds. I didnt call it a stopping round either. All I said was that it has a large diameter, heavy, and well constructed bullet at medium velolcities. Which makes it "adequate", not outstanding or exceptional or anything of the sort. Just adequate. And therefore not in the realm of "stunt hunting".
And Jorge you may feel free to kiss my ass at any time you wish. To call someone you know nothing about a neophyte makes you far worse than any of the people you bashed in your reply.
I never bashed anyone for their opinions. Nor did I ask a specific question. All I did was ask for opinions, not answers.
I hope this matter is settled. It is for me anyways.
My next post will be on handguns, God help me!!
