Have any of you guys read the Brian Searcy article in this months Rifle Magazine ? The guy claims that he shot through a cape buff and killed a cow with the through shot ! ROTFLMAO But wait that's not all ! He even further claims that if their would have been a third animal his single shot might have killed it too ! HAAAA HAAA HAAA ooooo geez Hey, If If was a fifth we'd all be drunk ! I never had any idea people would get so freaked out about a 100 year old military cartridge. I got into a debate on Pacos Kelly's site but when one of his moderators tried to tell me that their was no need to try out his big bad lever gun on a Bison before he tried it on a cape buff. He said their was no need, After all there were so many bison killed since 1873 with the 45-70 ! I almost fell off my chair laughing as I reminded him that Winchester didn't come out with the 1886 in 45-90 and 50-110-450 because the 45-70 was adequite ! I love lever guns. The best they could produce was 1 single fellow who had shot a plains animal with the 45-70. Not a single bear or buffalo, nothing. But hey it said it would work in the magazine and after all THEY did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night

Oh and by the way Swamp thing was their looking for advice on the best bullet to shoot trees and cinder blocks with. No shit honest to God ! One guy say's that his 45-70 penetrates 2 1/2 feet of tree trunk so that will surely stop any buff. I wished him luck with those charging pine stumps
