I had a Kodiak in .45/70 and shot it right much. It shot quite well and to the sights with the standard Remington 405 grain factory load or its equivalent.

Don't believe the stories that they will shoot anything from the 300 grain to 500 grain .45 bullets. Mine was very fussy about the bullet weight and the load intensity - just like any other double rifle.

The bunk about rechambering one of these to .450 No. 2 is just that: Bunk.

It's a fine rifle, and it's definitely a .45/70.
