I caused a stir, that's what I was hoping for
Having seen what both rounds can do inside 100 yards, the factory loaded 45-70 hollow points inflicts much more damage than the soft point 30-06.
Factory 300HP's in the .45-70 run about 1800 fps, are easy to shoot and do, repeat, do create very impressive performance on deer. My brother has shot a number of deer with the factory "lites" and they are decisive.
We are headed out right now after bear with a .45-70 300 grain running 2050 fps. Will report, but have tested this in the boards and jugs and got rather interesting performance.
One observation about the .45-70 I might make is that different loads shoot to wildly different POI in my gun. This might seem like a disadvantage, but might be an advantage to those trying to get a double regulated.
