What the site doesn't cover is that Lupo's PH had to cover his ass with his shooting along Lupo's. In fact, with the big ones, Lupo didn't put 'em down the way it shouldn't have been done. If the PH hadn't shot, Lupo wouldn't have been able to post his pics on Garrett's site.
This essential point is typically overlooked by the 45-70 crowd. I read Lupo's article carefully, and 4 out of 6 of the DG animals he shot with the 45-70 "charged" according to him. More likely they just were not disabled by the Garrett ammo or the 45-70 slugs, and wanted to depart the area. In either event, although Lupo tries to praise the 45-70, the facts written in his article speak very strongly against the caliber.
