Daryl,

Thanks for all the info. You are a "gold mine" of knowledge. I also shoot a sharps. It's my favorite of all my long guns. Mine is a Shiloh with a 30 inch barrel. I also have a Marlin 1895 and a double in 45-70. It's my favorite cartridge and has been for years. I try to read as much as I can about the cartridge on all the boards. I have learned alot over the years. I own quite an extensive library on the cartridge as well.

Your info is very helpful. Of all that I have learned, you have enlightened me to just one more new bit of knowledge that I did not have previously. I have had people tell me that if given the choice of the 45-70 or a 45-110, they would go with the 45-70. I've been told that the advantages of the 110 over the 70 are minimal at best with smokeless powder. Your information is supportive of what others have expressed.

I really don't have plans of changing any of my 70's to a 110. I was just curious as to what others were doing with their 70s and their 110s.

Again, thanks for all the great info and for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

Take Care!

JT
